Wild West hero
My Song is love unknown
Burning bridges
The Skye boat song/all around my hat
ALWM
The Impossible Dream
And Jack popped a map on the screen to show us the hall in Poundbury. And with an encouragement from our choir master off we went. ‘Ride the range’ still needed more confidence so it was time to break it down at the piano.
Ed ran through the harmony of Love Unknown and I have to admit it does not sound like the same song. M
Tapping feet from Ed reminded us of gaps and rhythms for Burning Bridges ... please make notes to help you remember what the choir master tells you. Otherwise he might have to go over it again. So he did. All Around My Hat may in-fact have cockney origins (how many choir members had a google?) but Ed felt that this song had both and Irish and West Country lily so marry those together in any way you can. Before slipping into a nice bit of Scots for The Skye Boat Song. Perhaps a few boxes of dressing up hats wouldn’t go amiss. I mean, won’t the police peoples be wearing nice police hats?
And the ALWM was upon us! After our run through we found we were making the same mistakes more than once. Again. Ed wanted more notes making so I blogged as hard as I can. Don’t you get me wrong sounded slovenly. Please come in at the right time. Everything’s alright. End of words or important in midnight. The men make it apparently. A little more harmony in unexpected song and the end of love changes everything always goes a big wrong because there’s a tempo change and some very different notes.
So we dug out The Impossible Dream which we remembered quite well.
Super well done DFS and fear not, we have another rehearsal before the concert, and several more opportunities to listen on line! Cat xxx
