Very small choir tonight (12) as Thursday is a bad night to get choristers into church - too many Choral Society rehearsals. Anyway, just enough people per part to sing 'From the Rising of the Sun' by Ouseley. Good to have the Vicar singing with us tonight - he let the Archdeacon do all the hard work!
Not quite a bunfight afterwards - just tea and biscuits in the parish centre - but a chance to catch up on news with friends from other churches in the Deanery.
On to Friday evening, and the final practice for the Festival Evensong on Sunday (part of the 'Tavistock Sings' music festival). Quick run-through of the Brewer Mag and Nunc, and Psalm 150 and Smith responses - revision of things we'd done before. Purcell anthem 'Evening Hymn' needed some serious work done on it.
Looking forward to the music festival - Mozart Requiem tomorrow, a Soprano solo recital in the Town Hall on Sunday Lunchtime, Festival Evensong, and a Purcell Workshop and Concert on Monday. It will be a busy weekend.
