The Armed Man : Workshop Success
28 October 2017
Following our recent workshop with John Rutter CBE,
our own Musical Director directed our 2017 biennial “Come and Sing”
day, this time tacking Sir Karl Jenkins’ “The Armed Man: a Mass for
Peace”. With over 250 singers, and ensemble of ten instrumentalists,
and an audience of just short than 100, the hall at our host venue,
Northampton High School, was full to bursting (indeed, we ran out of
chairs, meaning the last few members of the audience ended up
perched on the edge of the stage)! In the space of just a few short
hours of rehearsal, Lee and accompanist Ivan covered the whole work,
and within the course of the afternoon the work was ready for
performance.

Many, many thanks again
to the Bach Choir for
hosting another very
successful Come and Sing
event, which was hugely
enjoyable! Thank you for
your hard work in all the
arrangements and with your
co-helpers to make a very
well organised event, which
ran like clockwork!

We have already received a number of notes of thanks from
the singing participants and audience members, not just about the
fabulous musical performance, but also on how smoothly the choir
managed to organise such a large number of singers, accommodating
their particular needs, and keeping them well supplied with
refreshments throughout the day.

Ensemble Rehearsal

Please pass on our huge
thanks to your Musical
Director, Lee, who was both
entertaining and educative –
always a winning
combination. He and the
accompanist made the
rehearsals enormous fun and
I hope you were all pleased
with the performance at the
end of the day.
