People bring in whatever. We do a lot of rounds for warmup and fun, and have a few more serious songs like a relyricized version of Ave Verum Corpus and Copland’s Long Time Ago in the repertoire we’re building. At the most recent winter solstice we did Do You Realize, No One Is Alone, and The Word of God (I am not clear on why these songs were chosen) in addition to divvying up song-leading duties for some singalongs of better-known music. I recently bought a couple pieces of sheet music of songs I did in high school choir to introduce to the group and I’m also writing down some songs I’ve written and trying to come up with harmonies for the tunes.
If anybody has a good idea for songs we should do (or can think of good secular relyricizations for “Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia” etc. and “Sanctus dominus deus sabaoth, Hosanna deo in excelsis benedictus qui venit in nomine domine dei, pleni sunt coeli et terra, gloria tua” (in various subsets, repetitions, and orders) I would like to hear about it.
I can’t join the rationalist choir (geographic problems and I can’t sing), but I’m curious about the songs you sing.
