Fair daffodils by Benjamin Britten sung at a Nottingham choir course in 1977
Sung by us at a singing course in Nottingham in 1977
Fair daffodils, we weep to see
You haste away so soon;
As yet the Early-rising sun
Has not attain'd his noon.
Stay, stay until the hasting day

Fair daffodils, we weep to see
You haste away so soon;
As yet the Early-rising sun
Has not attain'd his noon.
Stay, stay until the hasting day
Has run but to the evensong,
And, having pray'd together, we
Will go with you along.
We have short time to stay, as you,
We have as short a spring;
As quick a growth to meet decay,
As you, or anything.
We die, as your hours do, and dry away,
Like to the Summer's rain,
Or as the pearls of morning's dew,
Ne'er to be found again. less

The chorus focuses on improving singing techniques and making chords "ring" while at the same time simply having fun. We love it when a 4 part chord is correctly tuned and the chord just locks together and harmonics (or overtones) ring out loud and strong.
We compete every year in local contest as a mean of measuring our progress against similar groups but we just love to perform for the public and so our contest activities are very well balanced with public performance. We also have a great time together as one of our goals is to provide a place where men can gather and enjoy their interest in singing.
The Harbour Capital Chorus was formed in Wellington on February 4th, 1988 following pioneering work by the “Co-ordinated Chemists” Quartet for several years prior to that. The Harbour Capital Chorus has since ... less
