George Pratt took the orchestral rehearsal, Simon Ible the choral rehearsal. All music by Purcell - choral items were 'Evening Hymn'. 'Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem', 'Thou Knowest Lord the Secrets of our Hearts', 'Hear my prayer, O Lord'. Everything went really well in rehearsal except the twiddly bits in the 'Praise the Lord' anthem. George Pratt gave a lunchtime talk about baroque music and how it is best performed on modern instruments. The informal concert was quite well attended (unusual to get a 'Free' concert!) It was a treat to hear the orchestra and to sing such lovely music.
Damn the earache and deafness - roll on Wednesday!
