Dear All,
Terrific work last night. Call of Wisdom and Long and Winding Road were sounding splendid and I think we have finally cracked Time After Time. Unusually for us, it was an all-English language set. Freda (soprano) has estimated that we sing in at least 16 different languages! Next week we will be looking at songs in 4 of them: Viva la Musica, Listen, Time After Time, Forever Young, Things, Pebble on My Tongue, Stille de Nacht and Isa lei.
