Ed welcomed everyone back, and reminded us that Christmas is coming! Everyone cheered. There was a very special farewell message from Alun and we all sent him our best. We also wish Jack who has moved away from Weymouth for work and play the very best.
Choir has 14 years behind it. Gosh we are old. It might just be the right time to learn a proper piece of 4-part choral music. It just might. We looked at our new music for today so keep reading to find out how we got on. But first Dum Dum Dudley.
Bottom f # Goes up. F goes down. I’m going to make Ed read that each week. Incase your wondering it’s the way you transpose the pitch on the keyboard in the hall.
On with The Sound of Silence… It’s all about waiting for beats. And not coming in too early with those ssssss. A challenge for choir it would appear. Ed introduced a nice harmony. There were more harmony people than the last couple of years.
Next, the challenge that was and is, 4 Chords, a Choral Medley paired with trying to play the music on Ed’s phone. Ed demonstrated the chord progression.
By special request we are singing Calypso a new song for me. Choir asked for it a little lower. In key and in volume. But then it was too low!
Mozart had us tasting Ave Verum Corpus which is the 4 part harmony we spoke of earlier. I sat and listened and was transported.
With time to sing just one more song we stood to perform, to the best of our abilities The Greatest Showman Medley. I need to watch the movie again.
Well done DFS. I STILL love you xxx
