Dear All,
Last night’s singing was as good as we’ve ever sounded. Absolutely wonderful! I’m really pleased we’ve cracked “In My Life” too, with just the final “cadential progression” to do. Next week I’ll be asking you what that means so do some homework. We will also do: Breathe In, For Once in My Life, Kyrie, Good News Chariot’s Coming, My Little Cup, Throw It Away and Hamba Nigahle.
COMING CHOIR EVENTS
