Re: The Government's Guidelines for Public Worship II - the return of choir groups
Because it isn't. It is for some of us Can I presume you live in a part of the world where there are so many pastoral musicians champing at the bit that you will never be able to serve again? We've just lost our building. But we have no intention of giving up. To put it bluntly, I am furloughed unt...

Re: The Government's Guidelines for Public Worship II - the return of choir groups
Why not just throw in the towel and accept it is all over?

Re: The Government's Guidelines for Public Worship II - the return of choir groups
I am less despondent. I think that those who return when things like singing and provision for children restart will be wanting to sing. I worry more that people will have lost the habit of going to church and will have found other ways of filling that time on a Sunday. I can see a time of shrinkag...

Precisely the reason for my despondency

Re: The Government's Guidelines for Public Worship II - the return of choir groups
I would happily play but am furloughed until singing is allowed - or the furlough scheme ends - when I would be redundant.

Re: The Government's Guidelines for Public Worship II - the return of choir groups
Hmm. All this listening is in danger of becoming the "New Normal" (I HATE the term with a vengeance!) Why don't we just give up??!

Re: The Government's Guidelines for Public Worship II - the return of choir groups
Hmmm - I thought I'd PM'd Nick but no sign of the message! It wasn't really important! Just to say that I'm probably going to be made redundant by the diocese when the furlough scheme ends - hence my despondency at the way things have turned out.

Re: The Government's Guidelines for Public Worship II - the return of choir groups
Nick, I am speaking of my own personal situation. My time in church music has come to a premature end. I am sure singing will return at some stage.

Re: The Government's Guidelines for Public Worship II - the return of choir groups
Of course I'm not saying the government imposed the virus on us - I'm just sick of the fact a lifetime's work in church music has been brought effectively to an end by this no singing business.

Re: The Government's Guidelines for Public Worship II - the return of choir groups
Quite honestly, I have no interest in a "recovery" from something that has been imposed by an incompetent government - I'm finished with the whole blinking business.

Re: The Government's Guidelines for Public Worship II - the return of choir groups
My choir won't be restarting anytime soon as l as DOM am furloughed until October.
I can't help feeling that some people will view the return of choirs singing alone as 'elitist' and that getting the assembly singing again eventually may be difficult!
