Stepping back in time (musically-speaking, that is), the Chamber Choir sang two medieval pieces as part of the Music Society Showcase last week.<\/p>\n

Seasonally inappropriate it might have been, but Sumer is icumen in<\/em> was delivered in fine style, and was followed by Tourdillon<\/em>, a traditional French song which here had English words comparing the repsective benefits of ale and punch. (The jury is still out…).<\/p>\n

Thanks to everyone who performed, and to the Music Society President for inviting us to participate: our first public engagement this term, we now have three in quick succession, so it was great to get the Choir singing\u00a0 and flexing their (vocal) muscles publically for the first time.<\/p>\n

(And no thigh-slapping in sight<\/a>…)<\/p>\n
