More good singing last time. Bushes and Briars and California Dreamin’ both sounded great, we made a really good start on Kheruvimskaya and solidified (I hope) the first four verses of Be Still My Soul.
This week coincides with the G&S Show of course, but we will meet as usual. Fingers crossed for a big turnout. We will be singing Bushes and Briars once more, continue Kheruvimskaya, Be Still, Ani Couni and Cry Heart, make a start on I Can’t Help Falling in Love (held over from last time) and by popular request, try Isa Lei at a somewhat brisker tempo. Words (where needed) of all of these have been attached in recent weeks. PLEASE PRINT OUT YOUR OWN COPIES IF YOU POSSIBLY CAN.
