Creation

Last night my choir, St George's Singers, performed Haydn's Creation at the Royal Northern College of Music. It was a good concert - the orchestra (The Manchester Camerata) are one of the UK's most distinguished, the choir has been acclaimed as the best in the region, and the soloists were exquisite.

I enjoyed singing the biblical story of the creation. After the creation of trees and plants, Gabriel (the soprano soloist) sings a beautiful description of the first spring:

With verdure clad the fields appear
Delightful to the ravished sense;
By flowers sweet and gay
Enhanced is the charming sight.
Here vent their fumes the fragrant herbs;
Here shoots the healing plant.
By loads of fruits th'expanded boughs are pressed;
To shady vaults are bent the tufty groves;
The mountain's brow is crowned with closed wood.

Damn, we could have had coffee or something beforehand! I work in the building over the road by the swimming pool!

Do you work Saturdays, Linz? I've done a few concerts there and I knew you worked nearby but I assumed you'd be home at the weekend. Next time I'll meet you in 8th Day or something.

It was an enjoyable concert - as are all our collaborations with St. George's Singers. It's great to work with such a professional and highly competent choir.

Speaking of collaborations, we're working towards an exciting move to the new Oxford Road wing of the RNCM in June. To see our progress so far, take a look at http://mancammove.blogspot.com/
