A good turnout last week, thank you. It was nice to welcome Chris and to participate in some refreshment and fellowship at the end.
Music for this week:
| Ch 4 | Aka-Tonbo |
| Ch 42 | The Lily and The Rose |
| ESM 344 | Exsultate justi |
| MP 110 | My spirit sang all day |
| MP 22 | The Evening Primrose |
| OTA 122 | If ye love me |
| OTA 84 | Haec Dies (SSATTB) |
| Sheet | Cherry blossom white |
| Sheet | Give us this day |
| Sheet | Oculi Omnium |
Notes from last week:
| When daisies pied | Notes sound. Worked on keeping the rhythms under control. |
| Come live with me | Much improved. Work on being more coquettish. |
| Haec Dies (SSATTB) | First section good, last section much improved. Last two bars of et laetemur most insecure bit. |
| All creatures now | Successful. Keep it light and dance-like. |
| The Rose | Secure, now needs a little more style. |
I was particularly pleased with the progress on Haec Dies – there is just those two bars before the Alleluia. hopefully we’ll crack it this week. The sound is generally very good at the moment; I’ll record a bit of this week so that you can hear it.
