Children getting ready for the Cantata
In thanksgiving for the the presence of the Sisters of Notre Dame in Dumbarton, and to mark their leaving the town, there are several celebrations including a Mass on September 15th, a Vespers of Our Lady on September 14th, and today, 5th September, a performance of the Cantata ‘Julie’ by St Michael’s Primary School.
‘Julie’ was written to mark the 250th anniversary of the founder of the Sisters of Notre Dame.
Here are the score, the index page and some of the recordings made to enable the schools to prepare for the celebration in 2002. And here also is a report of the Cantata celebrated in September 2012.
