The Chorus of St Cecilia…

Once again I have been spoilt by my Sister in law Jan …Niece Elizabeth and her hubby James…

Elizabeth, as I have probably said on my posts about the choir that she used to sing in it and has always been a pleasure to go and see them singing either with just the choir or at musicals and more…now James is in the choir and sounding really good as well…

Last evening he took us to Winterton Church where they hold a Summer Concert…Great church and packed full! where we all enjoyed a wonderful night of beautiful singing…With of course some of the juniors oh they are so sweet and very talented…Starting off with Gloria by Vivaldi it was so moving then the juniors sang All things Bright and Beautiful…Followed by them singing The Owls.

Some Lloyd Webber songs during the evening with Wishing You Were …Somewhere Here Again with Hannah Hall soloist who not only sang like an angel she looked gorgeous made the hairs stand up on the back of ones neck…she also sang With You later… Philip Pearson sang Music of the Night…also From Now On with the Choir in dancing mood!

We had a South Pacific Medley which is always entertaining… Schubert …Ava Maria …Cohens Halleluja and many more…

A new song written by a local person called The Truelove about a fishing vessel very very moving and just right as the Church has fishing nets on some of the walls so really in keeping…So many more plus those super youngsters singing Where is Love…A Spoonful Of Sugar…Scarbough Fair…

Three men  of the Choir sang Bring Him Home which we all love and the harmonies were superb…

I must mention the wonderful pianist who also sang, he is so talented.

The Chorus ended with Cantate Domino and You'll Never Walk alone… of course to a standing ovation, what more could you want to end the evening…During which two very nice gentlemen served wine… and juices for everyone, and a little giggle as the Church does not have an indoor loo so a porttaloo was well attended……luckily it was a beautiful evening……

Thanks to my lovely family for taking me and for Elizabeth and James for doing a duet in the car on the way home which was so nice…oh yes and the chips which were yummy even if rather late in the evening.

Lucky me xx
