Looking forward to our first meeting of the season on Friday.
We welcome Sue Burgin to join the altos and hope that she enjoys singing with us.
On Friday we will start working towards the Christmas concert on 16th December.
The repertoire is on the accompanying email and can be viewed here.
Thanks to the suggestions of choir members and some recent discoveries the programme is interestingly diverse. There are quite a few new pieces to get to grips with including one of my father’s that Mary reminded me of last year, one of Tony Glover’s (Ellie’s father) and some fresh from my computer.
Max Bruch is a composer that is not well known for his choral work but the three short carols will make a nice group. Hopefully we will manage the Norwegian pronounciation of the Nordqvist because it is a lovely tune. We know two of the Todd pieces already and My Lord has Come is an unaccompanied contrast. We have work to do but it will be worth it.
The books that you will need are Carols for Choirs 1, 2, 3 and 5 and Christmas in Blue. There are choir spares of some of them for new members, we will sort them out on Friday. There are six peices attached to the email for you to print off for Friday. If you are unable to print off yourself let me know by Friday lunch time and I will print for you (10p per side!).
On Friday we will look at the six pieces attached plus O come Emmanuel and The Night he was born.
Let’s have a good sing!
