Our Little Monotone Angel

Glo - ri - a in ex - cel - is De - o! “Do it again - just a wee bit higher”, our director urged. Glo - ri - a in ex - cel - sis De- oooo! The candidate for perfect soloist practiced and practiced and practiced. “Finally the day came when it was perfect. “There you go”, exclaimed director Faller and so tenor Ruth Walp became “Our Little Monotone Angel” for this year’s Christmas performance..

Glo - ri - a in ex - cel -is De - oooo! Glo - ri - a in ex - cel - is De - oooo! “I’ve got it! I’ve got it, “ Ruth proclaimed.

Well, “the Monotone Angel” may not have been the key highlight of this year’s show, but it certainly has to be up there somewhere near the top. “Isn’t that right, Lord?”

For our “Holiday Fantasy” this year, the BPC chorus was joined by the “Tapestry” handbell choir. This handbell choir was formed about 25 years ago and is still being directed by Carolyn Kelly - the “Ringleader” for the Tapestry. She even took the time to explain to the audience all about the differing types of bells and how the performers are able to make those unusual and unique tones.

The co-directors for this event were John Faller - the BP Chorus director, and Carolyn Kelley - the Tapestry Choir director. Our accompanist was Sandy Bron. They have asked me to thank all of those who helped to make that program a success - including the Buena Park City council, the Parks and Recreation department, and all of those people that helped set up the auditorium, and especially the people in the Buena Park city who support us with their attendance.
