[this is a version of a post which first appeared on my blog From the Front of the Choir]   Many people have no idea how a song is learnt by ear. They assume that written Music is a must. But don’t forget that people have been singing (and l...

A version for 3 part Mixed Choir (Soprano, Alto and Men) and organ is also available at: http://dwsolo.Musicaneo.com/sheetMusic/sm-185192_mass_for_three_part_Mixed_Choir_and_organ.html Because of its gently exotic modal flavours, the Music was deemed to have a ring of "oriental promise" by one appreciative member of the congregation at the first performance. This setting has been sung in Cathedrals in Manchester, Southwell and Dublin and the Agnus has also featured in services at Christ Church Didsbury. The recording here is the Agnus Dei sung by the Voluntary Choir of Manchester Cathedral during their visit to Southwell Minster.  less

The objective was to bring about Musical performances (of choral works by foreign and Nigerian composers) of sufficiently high standard for international consumption, within the limitations of national resources. The CHORALE which has grown in size to over 100 singers has given numerous concerts in Lagos and other towns in Nigeria, including Aba, Abakaliki, Abeokuta, Abuja, Benin, Calabar, Eket, Enugu, Ibadan, Ife, Nsit Atai, Oko, Owerri, Port Harcourt, Umuahia and Uyo. It has performed many times on Radio and Television and has featured on many State, National and International functions. It was the nucleus of the Nigerian National Choir for FESTAC 77. In November 2003, the group featured at the opening ceremonies of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Abuja, and the recent Nigerian centen...    less

You planned the repertoire.  You sorted the venue.  You learned how to give a decent downbeat and how to coax a reluctant tenor section into something resembling a blend.  What nobody told you - what no conducting course really prepares you...

A part of the concert held on August 8th 2013 in Tribunj (Croatia) during the first edition of "Papandopulijana Tribunj", a festival which has been initiated in the honour of Boris Papandopulo (1906-1991), one of the greatest Croatian composers.

Impromptu appearances during shopping hours will be followed by a live concert at 8.00pm on Sunday July 6. http://igg.me/at/stpeterssingers We also hope to raise sufficient funds to record this so that it can become more widely available, and are appealing to as many people as possible to participate in the project by giving whatever they would like, in return for a reward or perk. It's quite a good way of pre-ordering the CD !
