At the moment, I seem to be the singer of choice in this here town,
especially when several people within a community pass away in close
succession.
Favourites include: The Holy City (especially if the deceased was a
Believer)
Agnus Dei (Mozart)
Ave Maria(Schubert) Definitely the most
popular, regardless of denomination.
I've playfully considered having cards printed with: "Von der Krippe bis zur
Baare,
Singt Van Dijk Dir Ave Mare" :)
tr(from the cradle to the grave)
And then there is "Swing low, sweet Chariot".
I suppose one has to have a bit of humor, or one would not be able to sing,
but I am always aware of the important role one plays in creating the
atmosphere in which families and friends say farewell to loved ones.
