St. Bartholomew's Polyphony Choir UPDATE OCTOBER 2012 |

 |
Welcome..... ...... to the very first issue of UPDATE, an occasional e-newsletter for Choir Members bringing news, views, information and updates to you through the wonder of the internet! Do let me know if you find the format and content helpful, and if you would like to offer thoughts as to future content then I would be pleased to receive them. You have my email address!! Tony Christmas
As always, this term's
practices are very important (aren't they always, though!). It's our
busiest period by far in terms of the music we have to rehearse for, and the Christmas Concert and number of
Masses to prepare for make attendance so very important. The music
we are planning to sing is available from the front page of our
Web site, and hopefully you will familiarise yourselves with it.
At the start of the term we agreed that we would start at 8pm
promptly on Tuesdays; It's hugely encouraging that you all seem to
have taken this on board and, thus far, we have managed to stick
with it. |

Our Web site has now
finished being made-over. There are number of incidental things that
need to be sorted still, such as the lack of 'roll-over' names on
the top image on Gallery 2. There is also a large back-log of
pictures to prepare and upload (thanks to John Taylor and his amazing
photography). Hopefully all will be up to date before the end of the
year. Choir Committee You
all know we have a Committee to assist Tony in the planning and
running of the Choir. They also represent the members, and take
forward views and suggestions for the future. The members are: |
This
year's Parish Meeting takes place on Saturday 6th October at 7pm
in the Hall, with a social get-together afterwards. I intend to be
there, and hope many of you will be present with me. The notes from
last year's meeting can be found
HERE. It will be interesting to see what progress has been made
since then on the issues raised at that time, and what the future
holds. Who is it?
I wonder if anyone has any pictures of the church in times past that they might be willing to make available to scan for the Web site? |
Plans
for next year are coming together! A repeat of Stainer's The
Crucifixion during Holy Week, but with the 'Albinoni' Stabat Mater
added for the occasion. Fauré's Requiem in the Autumn, on the feast
of All Souls, and one or possibly two Choir outings under
consideration. And 2014..... Would you consider a five day four night Choir tour abroad in 2014? In Europe? Budget prices? A thought to leave you all with for a few months! The subject will crop up again in 2013 when the time is appropriate and the research done. And finally..... A
very warm welcome to Sophie, who has joined the Sopranos. |
