Fred Leroux is having a “Fiddle Mass” at St. Anthony’s Church in Apple Hill on Sunday, Oct. 25. All fiddlers are encouraged to come and join in the service. The music starts at 10:00am and mass at 10:30. Breakfast is served from 9:00 to noon (free will offering).
If anyone needs music, he or she can get it by writing to lochieler@yahoo.ca and we will send it. Most of the pieces are standards and many are on the CD. The list is as follows:
Before Mass: (subject to some change, but all familiar tunes)
- Hundred Thousand Welcomes
- Mairi’s Wedding, Hundred Pipers
- Kelsey McDonell’s Jig & the Barren Rocks of Aden
- Road to the Isles, Donald McLean’s Farewell to Oban, Sir Reginald MacDonald
- El Alamein, Off She Goes, Father O’ Flynn
- Maple Sugar
- Wild Rose of the Mountain, Fanny Power, Loch Garry Breezes
- Bonnie Dundee, The Mucking o’ Geordie’s Byre
- In Memory of Anne McNaughtan
- The Headlands
The processional will be How Great Thou Art; the recessional, May the Good Lord Bless and Keep You. At Communion, tentatively planned are Amazing Grace and In Memory of Anne McNaughtan; it is likely that Glengarry My Home will be played at some point.
