Then Ed sat at the piano. Today he wore shorts and looked like a PE teacher. GOOD EVENING he boomed after pointing out how little stage left there was tonight. And let us know there’s just one more practice next week before half term. Some of us warmed up while some of us trotted off for copies of Ave Verum Corpus swiped from the table at the back. Just pop some silver in the mini piano.
A new date - 24 June is … another event with an odd name. Spelling to be confirmed.
We dived into Ave Verum Corpus to see how much we couldn’t remember from 2022. Not much. Some choir members wanted to know what they were singing. So I googled and I’d have pasted it at the end of the blog coz it makes the formatting go all funny!
Next up, I’m Into Something Good which is a lot of fun to sing. This is a classic three rehearsal song. A sing with the recording and then our backing track, to put Ed’s three rehearsal theory to the test.
And from an ALW musical Requiem comes Pie Jesu but of course much lower than Sarah B. Phew. Ed was very happy with our beginning. Don’t forget to come in early when you go UP at the end of requiem. Proper run through next. Eeek. Lovely. Really getting there.
Til I Kissed Her splits the room naturally.
Fun to finish with The Wellerman and Uptown Girl.
Cool beans DFS, you were amazing as always. But that’s not why I love you, keep singing x
Ave real body, born
of the Virgin Mary
truly suffered, sacrificed
on the cross for man
whose side is perforated
water and blood flowed:
be predestined for us
in the examination of death.
