A relaxed start to the Exons Festival week - singing on our own in the morning ( Psalm 23 - Brother James' Air, with alternating middle verses, women and men.) Followed by an afternoon rehearsal with the Exon Singers in preparation for Evensong. There was just time in between to have a lazy ice-cream sitting on the grass outside the church before robing and returning to the choir stalls. This year the music was all familiar - Sweeney responses, canticles to Stanford in C, Psalm 73 to familiar Anglican chant and Mozart's 'Laudate Dominum', with a beautifully clear soprano solo by one of the Exons.
