It's an old New Year by now but we've got here at last. We've had huge snow down here in Witham Friary, a couple of missed rehearsals and lots of re-arranging later we've just finished playing through a huge heap of new repertoire. We've added a few twentieth century classics: Over the Rainbow, Sweet Dreams are Made of This, Maria (from West Side Story), A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square, La Cumparsita and lots more. We're also working on some brilliant Baroque treasures: Rejoice Greatly and the Hallelujah Chorus (both from Handel's Messiah) and, inspired by Radio Three's Purcell Weekend, we're enjoying his Strike the Viol and Sound the Trumpet.
Coming soon - in a fantastic arrangement for quartet - Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite and Seona's hard at work on a West Side Story Suite.
Happy New Year everyone, good luck with all your plans, dreams, hopes and resolutions!
