My first session back this year, I slipped all the lovely new songs into my folder and felt a bit chilly. Ed pretended the microphone was broken and storm Ingrid was on the way.
Easter concerts fall during the Easter break, 2nd April in the main Church here. 1st April for DFS Dorchester. We return to choir on the 23rd April. A show of hands confirmed that most members can make this.
We warmed up then looked at KISS ME. We sang it through once then Ed demonstrated the harmony and then we went over that three times, which was helpful. We sang it with the backing track and Ed said, Beautiful.
On to I KNOW HIM SO WELL with the vocal guides on. Then with Ed at the piano we broke the song down into parts, the descant parts being the hardest and the least known.
Back on went the backing track, and we gave it our best. Ed said, well done.
We sang HOLD ME CLOSE apart from me who was mostly listening thinking I may vaguely knew it …
Time for all the little bunnies to run for their lives, BRIGHT EYES was sung with the backing track then Ed sat at the piano and went through the lyrics of THE PRAYER before we dived in.
We will be braking it down further next time, and finished by belting out WE BUILT THIS CITY … boom.
Well done DFS keep singing, that’s not why I love you x
