On Tuesday we made great progress on Kyrie as well as looking at Placido è il mar, Lachrymosa and Magic Flute. Rebecca was really pleased with how we were listening to each other during the rehearsal and enjoying the rhythm of the music. Keep in mind her tips to support our voices from the abdomen (resistance ball), keep the momentum going through the notes and commit to the vowel on long notes.
Ben will be back with us next week when we’ll be revising what we’ve covered over the last two weeks and, if time allows, adding the Sanctus from Mozart’s Requiem
Reminder that Tuesday 13th Feb will be half term break.

Passiontide – 17th March
SGC has been invited by Tom Coxhead, Christchurch Music Director, to join the church choir for their Passiontide service on Sunday 17th March (time 17:00 tbc). We will sing Ireland’s Greater Love at the service. It would be a great way to build community relations as well as supporting our hosts and we hope as many of the choir as possible will be able to attend.
