My mostly white Detroit choir did a performance of spirituals in a mostly black downtown church back in the 80s. We did it well, and it was thrilling.
My role with my little Christmas gig group is preparation of a rehearsal CD, and this year I found a couple on Youtube. Not the best source, but all I could find.
I checked out your list: The Walk Together Children is a delight, and i love the harmony in the 23rd Psalm. Echoing the best personal review I ever received, from my wife after a 2007 performance of Carmina Burana, may your face be out of the book and may it be beaming!

We're singing at a wedding in a couple of weeks (and then inexplicably going to the beach for fish and chips... in late November... because our director has a peculiar idea of fun!) and we just got the music list unofficially via the choir librarian, who is a student.
I was Glad
Love divine (hymn + descant)
Willan Rise up
Jerusalem
Howells Behold
Monteverdi Cantate
All you need is love
Halleluia chorus.
It will be ridiculously cheesy. It will be magnificent. It will be the longest wedding ever.

Double post because it's a completely different issue - I am going to a winter ball with my choir (if and when I have enough money to buy the ticket!) and I have my eye on a dress from eBay and it is the most beautiful dress ever and I will look like a princess.
Only two days until the end of the auction! In case you're wondering why I haven't bid, I have a hammersnipe set up and I'm keeping an eye on it - if someone else bids in the next two days I'll make sure my snipe bid is high enough. I want that dress! Even if the shipping will cost almost as much as the dress itself, it is still far cheaper than getting one anywhere else.
And I have a science question - a friend was telling me about a process whereby molecules are tagged with DNA which acts as a sort of lock and key mechanism, so that the scientists can control which molecules go where. It sounded really interesting, but he didn't know the name of the process or what it might be useful for. Does anyone know?
Patrick:

I downloaded the Trinity College version of Rise Up. Will you do the entire Handel chorus, and at the "pronounce you husband and wife" or as a recessional? Twelfth Night Singers has done an abbreviated version that works well at the kiss. And if it's the longest wedding ever, is it the wedding of a couple of choristers?
