The music list is:
Introit: Salvator Mundi - John Blow (1649-1708)
Responses: Thomas Tomkins (1572-1656)
Canticles: Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in e minor - Daniel Purcell (1664-1717)
Anthem: Lord, let me know mine end - Maurice Greene (1696-1755)
Afterwards we shall retire to the nearby Lansdowne Bar for an after-service fluid replacement session!
It should be a very good service, not only because the choir continues to improve and gel together, but also because it's Lent, the season leading up to Easter, and the penitential music relevant to that season of the church always tends to be rather lovely in my humble opinion.
The choir still has a few vacancies for singers, so if you are aged 18 or over, live in Scotland, have experience in church choral singing, and would like to be considered for an audition or would like more information, please contact the choir administrator at scottishvoices@rscmscotland.org for an application form.
Holders of RSCM Bronze, Silver or Gold awards need not audition, but should contact the administrator for further details.
DOn't know how many of us know this but both the Blow and the Greene pieces are on youtube. Great to sing along with while learning the notes.
