That’a very good idea, Wytske! Perhaps we could incorporate it into the devotions? Or the Opening Ceremony? I can take care of sheets and have them printed in Cluj. @zsolt-elekes @robertince @ilona-popa @kinga-reka-szekely

For anyone wondering about this song/poem/hymn:

And here is the text and score:

  I didn’t know before that she had sung it. Lukasz, this is NOTHING compared to IARF members singing it with zeal! Wait till you hear a hundred or so of us joining in after having to give it a miss during Dovid times.! We’lll raise the roof!

  I think it would be best to do it during the opening ceremony; except I don’t know if this would encroach on the programme too much. Festive dinner seems a good option, too, except perhaps not everybody will have arrived yet. It’s for others to decide.

    The dinner is on Monday after the Opening Ceremony, so this shouldn’t be a problem. I tagged @zsolt-elekes and @kinga-reka-szekely, they should be able to tell us if we can get squeez it in.
    You mentioned Covid… I think this is quite a good rendition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ySdhCtnUWg&ab_channel=CathedralofSt.JohntheDivine. Do you have your favourite (except when it’s sung live by the IARF, of course ;))

      Dear @wytskedijkstraand @luke!
      
      I’m so glad our values add up and that sometimes, without reaching out to each other, we think of the same things. The choir would perform two songs during the opening ceremony, one of which will be this exact song! 😀

        That is wonderful.

        That’s great! Could we invite people to join the choir for an encore or something like that? Say that the choir will sing it once and then everyone will sing it again? With text in booklets or on a screen? @zsolt-elekes

        I think people would really appreciate the opportunity to sing it, it’s an IARF tradition 🙂 @zsolt-elekes

        @luke Of course, I’ll discuss it with the choirmaster and will get back to you asap!
