What a lovely first rehearsal today! Here is a wonderful performance of Corelli's Christmas Concerto.  The playing is divine, though I am not a massive fan of the decorations on repeat. Below is a very different performance along with the score, which you might enjoy.  I will have a think about which movements we will rehearse.

As promised, here are the Choir carols we will be singing this Christmas. Please listen and follow your part so that we can start from a good position next Friday.  It's going to be lush! Christmas Concert: Tuesday 9th December 2014, 7pm in Beaumont School Hall Carol Service: Wednesday 17th December 2014, 7pm in St Peter's Church Enjoy.
