What’s on Great Sacred Music, Sunday, July 1, 2012

This Sunday we’ll get a head start on our Independence Day celebrations
with anthems by American composers sung for us by some very fine American
choirs. Since July 1 is Canada Day, we shall observe that occasion as well
with music by Dr. Healey Willan.

Have a safe and happy holiday wherever you may be.
