Francesco's Notes: VBS Interfaith Service

Q.  For the Interfaith Service at Valley Beth Shalom, the Parish and Handbell Choirs will perform Mozart's Ave Verum and Marie Barnett's Breathe.  Why were these pieces chosen?   

Francesco:  I picked the AVE VERUM and BREATHE because they are accompanied by the handbell choir and also because Noreen wanted something in Latin that was somewhat traditional to the Catholic Church (i.e., Ave Verum) and Breathe represents a new style of music that is being sung in the Catholic Church today.
