And Smith Preces and Responses? Very high key, not sure the altos would complain!

[@thankcrunchiefriday]

The hymn is very high too. Pretty sure the congregation would complain!

@@thankcrunchiefriday Who cares what the congregation thinks? Ideally they should follow along with the Worship offered to God prayerfully and primarily interiorly. They needn’t concern themselves with things that are not connected to their proper role.
