Virtual Quiz Time
27 July 2020
Tonight the choir held its final Zoom
session before our summer recess. We return to singing on Monday 7
September at 7:30pm with the music of Howells continuing to form a
part of what we do, but a project involving Italian music of the
Seicento taking up the great majority of our time. Full details on
this will follow.
Quizmaster Lee in Full Flow

Who is the Famous Composer
|
Our session this evening was our second Virtual Quiz since the
lockdown began back in March, and our Musical Director Lee fully
exploited the potential of the online format to give us images to
decipher, normal questions, multiple-choice rounds, recorded
extracts to identify, and the dreaded “Say What You See” round,
which utilised specially commissioned artwork from Three Cocks
Kettering Quizmaster Robin.

The Dreaded Picture Quiz
|
The first quiz, back on 18 May was jointly won by Bennett and
Poole, with an honourable second place from Barnes. This quiz was
run across all of our MD’s choirs, with the first prize being won by
Woodward of the Royal Leamington Space Bach Choir, joint second
place from two Northampton Bach Choir competitors Poole and Walker,
and the third place jointly by Espin of the Wellingborough Singers
and Dicks of the Huntingdonshire Philharmonic Choir. All were agreed
that Lee’s expectations in May were rather lofty (!) and that the
July quiz was a little more comfortable for those without
encyclopaedic knowledge of classical music! We are looking forward
to a Christmas Quiz, either virtually, or maybe even in real life
(?!?) on Monday 7 December.
