Take Note

With the second volume of The Church Year in Limericks, Christopher M. Brunelle, Director of Music at the First United Church of Christ in Northfield, MN, and a former member of the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge, and the VocalEssence Ensemble Singers, continues to put lowly doggerel to lofty purposes.

This collection of entirely new verses provides hundreds of new ways to celebrate the liturgical year and the life of the church, from scripture to sermons to singing. Both pertinent and impertinent, both incisive and insouciant, this book will brighten and enlighten your year.

Here Brunelle joins Mark Lawson, President of the ECS Publishing Group, to chat about his lifelong love of words, language and limericks, and how they can add a little but of fun to your choir rehearsal.
