September 2019

Some of us are still hanging onto summer!


It was a beautiful day in Wivenhoe, which is perhaps why numbers were down a bit this month (only one man!). But that didn't stop us making a great sound. It's quality, not quantity that counts (although it would be nice to see a few more of you next month).

Here is the link to September's recordings.

Despite having the summer off, everyone was in fine voice. We started with a round which likens the turning of the waterwheel to the turning of the seasons. Chris didn't have time to record this, so the recording is from another workshop.

Next was a great song in six parts by Roxane Smith: Ain't gonna study war. Words drawn from the old spiritual "Down by the riverside".


We finished with a cracking gospel song from South Africa: Vuma. This was only in five parts, but it still sounds great!


For those of you who came this month, you'll be pleased to know (or maybe not!) that Chris found his "blowy thing" in the car after the session!


We'll be back on 12 October with loads of brand new songs (and hopefully some more men). Do please spread the word.
