Vivace

Join us for our fourth 'Come & Sing' on 22nd January 2011 at Normandy Village Hall. Registration starts at 10:00am.

This year we sing the undoubted masterpiece from Handel's italian sojourn Dixit Dominus. The music is full of youthful exuberance and daring, the like of which is to be found nowhere else in his output.

In complete contrast to this roller-coaster choral ride, we will also sing two Lenten motets (by Lotti and Gesualdo, the latter perhaps more famous for murdering his wife and her lover as they lay in bed), which are full of startling dissonances and intensity.

Requirements to join the day are a love of singing and choral music, and £20! What you will receive in return is the hire of the scores, tea and/or coffee, homemade soup and a ploughman's, the company of others who enjoy singing and a day of music led by our Music Director, Jermey Backhouse.

To join, please fill out and send the Come & Sing Registration.
