A few notes on our upcoming concert.
Huge thanks to Simon, David and Douglas for organising, flyers, programmes and bar.
Introductions:
As I mentioned at rehearsal the programme for our Christmas concert will include members of the choir giving a short introduction to the music we will be performing.
I am looking for volunteers to give the introductions as per the list below (there are four). The idea would be to talk about your thoughts on the piece(s): why a particular piece is special to you; how its grown on you (hopefully!); what was tricky about learning it etc. Whatever you want.
Please email me (jonezfamily658@virginmedia.com) if you’d like to do this, specifying which introduction (1-4) you’d like to do. If I’m inundated with more than one volunteer per section then I’ll draw names out of a hat.
INTRODUCTION 1:
O Nuit- Rameau
Bogoritse Dyevo from Rach Vespers
Sure on this shining night – Lauridsen
.
INTRODUCTION 2:
Abendlied, Rheinberger
Sleep – Whitacre

INTRODUCTION 3:
