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

此曲原由阿根廷的流行音樂作曲家法飛洛（A. Favero），根據烏拉圭著名詩人班奈戴提（M. Benedetti）所寫的情詩而作，由康吉安諾（L. Cangiano）改編寫成無伴奏混聲合唱曲，以厚實多變的和聲表現歌詞中深情呼喚至愛的誠摯情感。 我愛你，你是我的至愛，我的密友，我的一切。 當我們手挽著手走過每一條路， 我們就像同一個人一樣的心靈契合； 當你的眼睛凝望著我，整天的鬱悶都將一掃而空。 我愛你，你的身影是我向未來前進的力量。 你的手撫慰了我的心，我每天的思緒， 讓世界上的一切都能...  more此曲原由阿根廷的流行音樂作曲家法飛洛（A.

The most precious and valuable Thing we need in this sinful world is only JESUS. No matter your deeds HE is always ready for us.

Probably Tanzanian folk song with added words written in 1940s with extra verses added in late 1950s. Made famous by Miriam Makeba in early 1960s. The young man sings: "Angel, I Love you. What should I do? I don't have any money. I would marry you if I did." This outdoor performance was the culmination of a six-week project which creates a choir From scratch for one night only. Each winter and summer, Chris Rowbury gathers a random bunch of singers From in and around Ipswich. There are no auditions and all songs are taught and learnt by ear. Usually eight songs are learnt in six two-hour sessions and in the summer are performed outdoors near Ipswich. http://chrisrowbury.com  less
