Knocked for six: the Cecilian Choir

It struck me, talking with people after the recent Cecilian rehearsal, that we’ve already got to grips with the best part of six pieces for the concert programme. For a choir that meets for only an hour once a week, and after only four rehearsals, that’s a pretty impressive amount of music.

Fair enough, work still needs to be done on them, but we’ve broken the back of all six works: Tallis, Brahms, Bruckner, Victoria, Lassus and Poulenc. That bodes well for the remainder of the programme, and is a tribute to how quickly the members of the choir can pick pieces up and rehearse them efficiently.

Well done, the Cecilians. The next fourteen pieces will be a piece of cake.

(Joke).
