Golden Eastertide

We had a choir Golden Wedding celebration this weekend - one of our sopranos has notched up 50 years of marriage, so had a service on Saturday with champagne for the choir afterwards, and cake on Sunday. Another soprano sang Lloyd Webber's 'Pie Jesu', with the whole choir contributing 'The Lord bless you and keep you' (Rutter). The difference between an actual wedding and a Golden Wedding is that the soprano turns up to sing the next morning when she's been married 50 years!

We sang a choir special today, 'This Joyful Eastertide' (Wood). In fact, it has wormed its way into our repertoire so thoroughly that we repeated it for Evensong at our daughter church.
