Southwell, Easter
2010 (page 3)
After a leisurely lunch in the Saracen’s Head hotel there was time for a practice before our final Evensong, sung in the Quire. Peter M led us in great style as Cantor through Peter W’s responses before the part we’d been waiting for, Charles Wood’s canticles. Written for double choir, the music ranged from the exquisite opening of the Nunc Dimittis through to the majesty of the Glorias. We sang well, and with the choir and organ in full voice it was thrilling. A blast of Handel followed and before we knew it, we had finished.
Tired, happy and ready for a sit down, we bade our farewells and headed for home. Our sincere thanks go to
Peter W for choosing and leading us in such inspiring music and to Peter M without whose meticulous planning the weekend could not have happened. We are truly fortunate to have sung together as a choir and as friends in such a beautiful place. In 2011, our 20th year, we’re going to do it all over again – in Winchester Cathedral. It’s got a lot to live up to.
