As if hearing the anthems every Sunday was not enough, we decided to subject the good people of S.Eustachius to yet more renditions of our favourites. But it was all in a good cause - the organ fund. The organ itself behaved rather well, and so did the choir - even after a good slug of wine in the interval. The programme included: With a voice of singing (Shaw), Hail glorious spirits (Tye), Turn thy face from my sins (Attwood), Nunc Dimittis (Stanford), O for a closer walk with God (Stanford), Turn back O Man (Holst), Pie Jesu (Faure - Soprano Solo), Lord Give me Faith / Blessed Be the God and Father (Wesley - with Treble solo), Rejoice in the Lord Alway (Redford/Anon), God be in my Head (Rutter), Evening Hymn (Gardiner), Call to Remembrance (Farrant - Quartet), Look at the World (Rutter), O thou the central Orb (Wood). Plus a couple of Iona-style items and some organ solos.
On Sunday, the choirmaster decided to give us an easy time after our efforts the night before. Instead of an anthem, we sang the hymn, 'Let all mortal flesh keep silence'.
