These are strange, hard times: we must #stayathome for our own health, to protect other people and to fight a virus called Covid-19.
But Music doesn't stop and the Vox Canora singers, even though physically distant, want to try to "Fix You" with this video where you'll find the typical Vox Canora moments of irony.
We are longing for the day we will meet, hug and sing together but for the moment we must #STAYHOME

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... less

ABOUT THE MUSIC:
This arrangement is split into four ideas all linked together generationally. The first verse is meant to symbolize a departed parent comforting their grown child from the great beyond. To be more specific, the parent is singing this lullaby to their child in a dream. I felt the Latin word “Lux” (Light) was an appropriate fit for the imagery of sunlight and heavenly light.
The second verse represents the grown child waking up from the dream (first verse). This verse is meant to be bittersweet rather than strictly sad or angry. While there is grieving, the melody imparts comfort through nostalgia and memories. When the second verse gloriously blooms into the third, this represents everlasting love shining through even the darkest of times. Although gone, one will live in the heart and memory of another forever.
Finally, the reiteration of the first verse represents the grown child singing the same lullaby to their own baby, impartin... less
