[this is a version of a post which first appeared on my blog From the Front of the Choir]   I’m usually the last one to notice, but often when I’m teaching one section of the choir, there’s chit chat from the rest of the singers....

Guillaume --- English Translation: God's will be done. (Fiat voluntas Dei.) God of Providence, you who have never failed us, Be blessed now and always. you created all things with an eternal love, For our greater good you gave them to us; The bird, our brother, does not sow nor harvest; Though for him to be fed, oh Lord, you provide. A simple lily, a tiny flower, Surpasses the splendor of the great King Solomon. God of Providence, you who have never failed us, Be blessed now and always. Why must we worry of the things to come? Why so many concerns for our future? God of Providence, Master of the Universe, you give to your children more than is needed. in spite of our fears and despite our misfortunes, in our moments of joy and even in our pains, We implore you, oh Lord, God of Providence, you offer us always your divine presence.

At present we have nineteen members, including our musical director and accompanist, both talented pianists who sometimes provide a contrast to the choir’s singing with their piano duets. Reflections have given concerts in support of local charities, sometimes sharing the privilege with other choirs and soloists. Many of our venues have been for religious organisations, either within their services and celebrations, or for their related charities. Our repertoire is very varied and includes sacred music and songs from shows and films, with composers from Bach to Goodall, Cole Porter to Elton John. We have had a busy Christmas period with performances at Ridgeway Methodist Church, Plympton, Lanhydrock church and at the Mount Edgcumbe Christmas fair. Our diary can always accommodate new bookings, so if you would like to have a choir at your event or function, don't hesita...    ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less
