Our first visit to St Paul’s had been planned for October 2011.
Unfortunately the Cathedral was closed just 48 hours before our
visit, because of the “Occupy London” protest taking place around
the Cathedral, and we were kindly hosted by Gloucester Cathedral
instead. This visit was such a success that we immediately
rescheduled the St Paul’s visit, and on 29 October 2012 we went!
Just over fifty (the maximum allowed by St Paul’s) members of the
choir took part in the visit, and we sang a set of Responses by the
Organist of Cartmel Priory, Adrian Self, the Evening Service (Magnificat
and Nunc Dimittis) in B flat by Henry Smart, and the
glorious eighteenth-century anthem, O Lord, look down from heaven
by Jonathan Battishill.
Programme:
Northampton Bach Choir
Organist - Stephen Meakins
Conductor - Lee Dunleavy
Self - Preces and Responses
Smart - Evening Service in Bb
Battishill - O Lord, look down from heaven |
