A very low-key Service on Sunday morning, to save our voices for tonight. First Sunday of the month, so lots of bits of paper - Iona-type music not in our hymnbook. Sang 'Peruvian Gloria' and 'Lifting my eyes unto the Hills'; anthem was 'Lead me Lord' by Wesley.
Festival Evensong - part of the Tavistock Sings! Music Festival. Smith responses, Psalm 150 (Stanford), Magnificat and Nunc Dimmittis by Brewer and Evening Hymn by Purcell. Went very well considering lack of time to practice and hardly time to breathe between items - you can always tell when the Choirmaster wants to rush home to watch something on telly! Cracking sermon on how music helps with worship. Despite being deaf in one ear and struggling with earache, a great evening.
