Continuing my regular escape from Creamtealand, this Sunday saw me singing in a lovely Welsh church, converted to an Arts centre during the week but still used for services on Sundays. It has a very, very small choir which this week was reduced to a very, very, very small choir due to holidays and other commitments. Our presence, however, enabled the choir to sing four parts in 'Drop, Drop slow Tears' (Gibbons) and full Anglican chant for the psalm, so they seemed glad for the reinforcements. It was also a pleasure to attend Evensong at Llandaff Cathedral, unfortunately not with the regular cathedral choir who were on their pre-Easter break, but an excellent deputising choir (all girls top line) who sang Stanford in A and 'Lie Still' (Bach, St. John Passion). The lovely singing and gentle speaking voices had a soporific effect; it was a most relaxing end to the afternoon.
