The night before Lockdown, November 2020, the Parish Singers had a one-hour recording session in the nave. All one-offs. This was the final item recorded at 8.54pm for a 9pm finish.
The evening before the November 2020 Lockdown, St Albans Cathedral Parish Singers spent an hour recording 13 items. All one-off takes. Here’s an example. https://youtu.be/IG6gXD-640w More on You Tube!
Clérambault’s Caprice sur les Grands Jeux played after the 9.30am Parish Eucharist in St Albans Cathedral on 18th October 2020
Lovely to play for the Solemn Eucharist entrance procession in St Albans Cathedral on 6th September.
RSCM St Albans, Hertford and Bedford Area sang a Virtual Evensong on 20th July for which I was the accompanist. I recorded the organ accompaniment in St Nicholas Church, Harpenden and then over 40 singers sang along at home with headphones whilst recording their own voices. Marie Price conducted. Here is the result: Brewer in D Nunc Dimittis
It’s been an extraordinary time. Recording accompanying organ parts with nothing to accompany. Second-guessing rallentandi etc. And Directing my choirs, virtually. A steep learning curve.
BUT. All is not lost. I have witnessed our singers sight-reading and confidence improve over the lock away weeks. We can come back invigorated and more self-sufficient.
We pray to thee, O vaccine, for a swift result!
A terrific weekend just passed accompanying Priory Voices singing in Coventry Cathedral. A loud organ when unleashed: and full of plenty of character, too.
