A great sing this weekend directing the 24 in our RSCM Area Chamber Choir.  Sumsion in A and Stanford in C for the evening canticles with Darke in E for the Choral Eucharist.  Byrd’s Ave verum corpus, Stanford’s O for a closer walk with God and Bairstow’s Though I speak with the tongues of men.  Responses by Radcliffe.

Leaving the Cathedral after the Eucharist I bumped into both the Archdeacon of St Albans and the Organist of St Paul’s Cathedral – as one does – and both commented that the Bairstow is rarely sung.  A great piece, though, contained in the Church Anthem Book.

Our next outing in the Cathedral is for Evensong on Saturday 30th December.

If you would like to know more about joining the choir,  let me know.
