We are thinking about what we will be singing this year.
We do have one firm booking to sing at a St David’s Day Dinner so we will, no doubt, be revising and adding to our Welsh repertoire. Singing in Welsh, whilst difficult for Englishmen, adds a certain something to the music. It makes the hairs on your neck stand up.
We will, no doubt, keep one or two items from last years repertoire but our Musical Director, Huw Thomas, tells us he is planning to add some classical music, such as the Liberame Domini from Faure’s Requiem. In complete contrast we may also be trying Jeff Lynne’s Mr Blue Sky.
One thing is certain, the arrangements Huw creates for the Solent Male Voice Choir will be challenging but great fun.
