I thought I'd share with you what I ended up choosing for my offertory solo this Sunday morning.
Since our processional and recessional have been switched to a couple of our more patriotic songs (Star Spangled Banner & America the Beautiful), I chose an arrangement of The Lord's Prayer by Ned Rorem. I felt that a more soothing, thought-provoking piece might be more effective given all the other patriotic music being done. And the fact that it's a familiar and comforting text set in a mostly unfamiliar way will hopefully fit the bill nicely.
And it doesn't hurt matters that I love music by Rorem to begin with!
Thank you all for your suggestions.
All the best, Laura Ruiz
