are able to once again supplement my little choir with your fantastic

have enough sops), then down the road to the Angler's Arms for a post service

make the warm-up. Dates and times as follows:

Tonight
Dear All,
Leo the youngest has some sort of terrible hacking /
leaking bottom thing so we've been up all night. Working today means that I
would be simply no use tonight so Enid is kindly leading. If you're singing on
Saturday, please can you prioritise tonight? Enid will be getting everything
shipshape.
Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday,

FREE tickets to ECHO: Body of Song tomorrow for Chamber Choir
Hello, our World War One Centenary concerts continue at 4pm on Sunday 9th November with a very special commission, ECHO: Body of Song and comps are available for staff and their family and friends.
Body of Song is a truly fitting reflection of war, with a fascinating story, a world of musical diversity, a snapshot of the diverse musical aesthetic and a shared European reflection on peace and conflict past, present and future.
Presented by renowned baritone, Sir Thomas Allen, ECHO: Body of Song, marks the outbreak of WW1 with new choral works that explore the theme of peace and conflict through the human voice. Performed by the Chorus of Royal Northern Sinfonia, Custom Voices, Voices of Hope and Sage Gateshead’s own youth choir Quay Voices.
In the words of Sir Thomas Allen: “Whether we remain aware of it or not, to a greater or lesser degree, the importance of the year 2014 is very significant in our lives. This most awful of wars, the war to end all wars, is especially significant as it gave rise to some of the most touching and moving poetry in our language, and some of the most deeply poignant songs.”
“Its resonances continue, the story goes on, and out of the darkness comes beauty and inspirational writing of music prose and verse. After all the horrors, in just the same way as the most vivid and beautiful of red flowers appeared in thousands on what had been a place of utmost ugliness, words and music do indeed have the power of healing.”
One of the works, ‘Papillon’ composed by Catherine Kontz and performed by the Chorus of Royal Northern Sinfonia is based on a collection of letters which were found in a cellar. The letters are between members of one family (5 sons, 1 daughter and their parents) and were written during WW1. Four of the sons fought in the war and some of their letters were written from the trenches. It is a very personal insight into war, with all the worries of parents who haven’t heard from their sons and then hearing first-hand how dreadful the conditions really were.
Many colleagues are performing so it will also be a great opportunity to support them so tell your friends and family and come along on Sunday afternoon at 4pm.
Contact Ticket Office to get your tickets now (unlimited but on a first come, first served basis).

I can confirm that we have been given the first slot after the 2 minutes silence so are scheduled to sing between 11.02 and 11.30am.

Also, as a perk of taking part:

Useful website - from Julie
I thought Chamber Choir might find this website useful. It
was recommended by The Sixteen for practising ahead of their forthcoming
workshop. There's a great Facebook Group too. Loads of useful stuff.

A message from Ruth that Ed would like to share with you
Dear Ed,
I've really enjoyed singing with Chamber Choir for the past few years,
especially the Cambridge trip last summer.
And also your 'leadership' and the way you take our rehearsals.
I've decided to have a break from it for a while.. we're
in a new phase as our youngest leaves home this autumn.
My husband has done 'Step into singing' for a year and is
now confident to join a choir himself, so we've joined Andrew Scott's 'Flotsam'
which we can do together. So rather a different repertoire!
best wishes for the year.

From Steve about this Saturday (27th) at Brinkburn
I've been asked to get a small choir together to support the
singing at a Christening at Brinkburn. The format on the day is
straightforward enough - I'll play some music while guests arrive and your job
is simply to lead the singing of the hymns (which are listed below). All
the tunes are well known and I'm happy for people to sing either unison or
harmony - whichever you prefer. I'll bring some hymn books down from
church, but please also bring your own if you have them (Hymns Old & New).
As you're singing in the choir, you can get into Brinkburn for
free and the family have offered to make a donation to the church, which I can
use for buying some choir music.
We can do a run through on the day before the service - I suggest
we are down there and ready to sing for 10:45. The service starts at
11:30.
Dress wise, I suggest we just wear whatever you would normally
wear for a Christening - no need to colour coordinate. We are invited to
stay for drinks afterwards too!
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Drop me an email (steven.buckley@talk21.com) if you think you can make it.
Hymns are:
Morning has broken
Be still, for the
presence of the lord
Lord of all
hopefulness
Amazing Grace
Thanks
Steve
