15 June 2024: From Ancient to Modern
This concert was a largely a cappella one with a first half of some classic choral works and a second half with some more up to date pieces.
The first half consisted of Palestrina's Missa Brevis and three motets by Anton Bruckner: Locus Iste, Christus factus est and Tota Pulchra es.
The second consisted of lighter works mainly from the book, 'Encores for Choirs Book 2'.
These included Shenandoah, Blue Moon, Three Minute Messiah and Tom Bowlin in an arrangement by the choir's own Jenny Watkins. As always we were directed by Jeff Stewart and, where required, Colin Spinks was our able accompanist (joining the tenor line when an accompaniment was not required).
The evening was enjoyed greatly by all those who were present - performers and audience - and provided a lovely musical evening for a summer's day.
