You won’t hear even a minute of God Bless America at St. David’s this Sunday (I hope the cheesy video will do the trick). Instead, we’re celebrating the entire world this Independence Day with music from Brazil to Russia and back again:
France – Arabesque No. 1 Claude Debussy
South Africa – Siyahamba
Russia – Psalm 30
Japan – Here, O Lord, your servants gather
Gaelic – Nicene Creed
Finland – Finlandia (the hymn is based on this is the full, orchestral tone poem)
Scotland – O Waly Waly Doxlogy
Africa – Sanctus by Betty Pulkingham
Brazil – Cantad al Señor (in a handbell arrangement!)
United States – Lift every voice and sing (recorded here by the PS-22 Chorus.. Do you know who they are? Please read about them!)
Norway – Patriotic Song from Lyric Pieces by Edvard Grieg
See you then!
