Lux Aeterna - No Letters in score! This will be a bar numbering exercise.

As before, we will also be passing in and out of the music for the Elgar festival weekend. You will need to collect copies of psalms and brand new copies of Howells ‘Like as the Hart’ which have been kindly donated to the choir by Pete Sheppard as his ‘thanks for 25 years of glorious music making and beautiful friendships’ We will also take a quick look at Dyson in D!

My boss at the RWCMD, Andrea Brown, may or may not be with us this week. 

Please continue your listening excercise with the Venables too. We are not quite as ahead of the game as I would like but I believe the last few rehearsals have helped a lot to cement the more challenging parts. 

See you on Thursday.

Stephen
