Norfolk Choir Tour
The Chamber and Chapel Choirs enjoyed a spell in Norfolk last weekend singing at Norwich Cathedral and Little Walsingham Parish Church.
Beginning their tour on Saturday afternoon with Choral Evensong in the stunning Norwich Cathedral, the Choir sang a setting of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis by George Dyson with solos by Charlie (Removes) and Oscar (Vths).
Accompanying this, were two music works by Herbert Howells – the choir anthem was Like as the Hart (a setting of Psalm 42) and Mr Ali’s organ voluntary Master Tallis’ Testament. After the service, Choir members were given a demonstration of the cathedral’s new Harrison and Harrison pipe organ by the cathedral organist.
The Choir stayed in Sheringham and in the evening they enjoyed an evening starlit walk along the beach and Mr Brain demonstrated his ability to create a legendary Choir quiz.
On Sunday morning, the Choir sang for Mass in the charming Anglican Church of St Mary and All Saints Church in Little Walsingham singing Richard Farrant’s Lord, For Thy Tender Mercy’s Sake, and Palestrina’s Sicut Cervus. Choir members then enjoyed some free time in the charming village of Little Walsingham which is also home to the world-famous shrine to Our Lady of Walsingham.
