This vigil is offered by the Choir of The Church of Saint Andrew and Saint Paul in support of Le Centre québécois du droit de l’environnement and Les amis de la Montagne. Eternal Sun takes us through ruminations on aspects of our earth and environment, opening in luminosity with selections about Light and the Sun, including the titular piece by John Tavener. We travel through explorations of various animals in works by Hindemith, and about birds in the famous madrigal by Janequin, Le chant des oiseaux, before reflecting on earth and water in pieces by Robert Ingari and Judith Weir, among others. Join us for this musical celebration of the Earth, and help us in supporting these two organizations which work toward the protection and defense of Earth’s wonders and vastness.

Présentée par le Chœur de l’Église Saint-André et Saint-Paul en soutien au Centre québécois du droit de l’environnement et aux Amis de la Montagne, cette vigile rend hommage en musique à la splendeur des éléments et des êtres de notre planète. Soleil éternel s’ouvre sur des œuvres célébrant la Lumière et le Soleil, dont la pièce éponyme de John Tavener. Il nous emporte ensuite chez le règne animal, avec des œuvres de Hindemith et le célèbre madrigal Le Chant des oiseaux de Janequin, pour finalement s’attarder aux éléments de la terre et de l’eau, mis en musique par Robert Ingari et Judith Weir entre autres. Rejoignez-nous pour cette célébration musicale de la Terre, et soutenez ces deux organismes qui, chacun à leur manière, œuvrent à la protection et à la défense de ses merveilles et de son immensité.

Les Amis de la montagne is a non-profit organization that protects, improves and promotes the sustainability of Montréal’s Mount Royal through advocacy, community involvement, environmental education and stewardship.

On the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month from 6:00 p.m. until 7:30 p.m., those of us who are practicing learning French get together for dinner and practice (This is a change from our former routine of meeting every other Tuesday). Our next French Table will be February 25th.

We really need help with this ministry. It has grown beyond what we originally envisioned. We need someone to coordinate the event overseeing the set-up, meal serving, and clean-up. We also need a teacher – or at least someone to help us develop lesson plans. If you feel called to help with either of these needs, please contact Rev. Susan at sbrasier@standrewstpaul.com.
