Good rehearsal last week, thanks for your effort.

It was nice to welcome Lynn into the altos ; the section is now sounding very strong and means that there is less pressure on Vicky and Marguerite. I’m looking forward to this Friday when we should have most of us there.

Here is the music list for Friday:

CC2 160	Personent Hodie
CC5 82	In dulci jubilo
Sheet	Mary, did you know
Sheet	Coventry Carol
CC3 157	Star Carol
CC3/1 143	O little town of Bethlehem
Sheet	Silent Night
Sheet	Love, peace and Music

We haven’t found the set of copies of Love, peace and music so it is here for you to print off – I’ll bring a few for those whose printers are on the bllink (or non-existent!)

Here are the translations of the Bruch and Nordqvist carols; many thanks to John H. for the German. As far as I know we haven’t any Swedish speakers in the choir (Säg till om du kan svenska!) so here is a clear recording to learn the pronounciation. This male voice choir version is worth listening to.

From last week:

A Great and mighty wonder – in Engish. We will do the first two verses and the last.

My Lord has come – this must be accurate and well tuned. If you have facility please work on this; if not this performance by Voces 8 might help.
