Well done last week coping with my efforts on the bass line; we did lots of good work in spite of that. There was some very good sight reading and we sounded pretty good on the whole.
I have now managed to get a list of pieces that I would like to be on the Christmas programme. You can view and download it from here. It is in order of book page numbers and alphabetically if not. There is a little bit of doubt over one or two items; I will publish a performing order soon.
As we are not using the instrumentalists this year there are not very many accompanied pieces which will have to be piano accompanied (Nancy has very kindly agreed to play for us). The audience carols have not been chosen yet. You should have With wondering awe and Sussex Carol lurking somewhere in your music pile; please search them out for 4th November. If not you can print them out from these links:
Here is the music list for this week:
| CC1 14 | A virgin most pure | trad. arr. | Wood |
| CC1 70 | Rocking | Czech arr. | Willcocks |
| CC3 106 | Angel Tidings | arr. John | Rutter |
| CC3 138 | O little town of Bethlehem | Walford | Davies |
| Sheet | Here is the little door | Herbert | Howells |
| Sheet | Lullay, lulla | Philip | Stopford |
| Sheet | The little road to Bethlehem | Michael | Head |
Eleanor Hodgson is interested in possibly taking over from me and wants to come to observe the rehearsal on 4th November.
I visited St. Martin’s Church on Monday afternoon and had very a positive conversation with one of the clergy which I will feed back to you on Friday.
A reminder that there is no rehearsal on 28th October.
