This week we will cover all the music for our upcoming weekend at the Cathedral.
Please make sure that you have the following music with you -
Stanford in A/Stanford in B flat
Purcell - I Was Glad
Palestrina - Missa Brevis
Durufle - Tantum Ergo
Elgar - The spirit of the Lord
Tomkins & King Responses
3 Choirs psalms 45/46
PLEASE NOTE - you will also be given copies of the psalms for the upcoming weekend on Thursday. We will touch on all of them but the main thrust of rehearsal on these will be done at the weekend. I want the choir to get to a point of being able to pick up a psalm and get to grips with it straight away!
This Saturday afternoon I am calling the choir to meet in the song school at 1.30pm. We will rehearse until 4pm, break, and then practise for evensong at 4.30pm in the Cathedral.
NB - Those of you in the 3 Choirs chorus - you are excused that from the day rehearsal to be at our rehearsal/evensong. I have cleared this with Sam Hudson and you need only inform Steve G at the chorus of your absence.
See you all on Thursday - Stephen
