North London Chorus
Our next concert will feature music by Vaughan Williams, Finzi and McDowall on Sat 22 November at St James Church, Muswell Hill.
We’re opening our Nov 22nd concert with Cecilia McDowall's evocative and penetrating exploration of loss and waste of human life “Some corner of a foreign field”. Commissioned by Dulwich College to mark the centenary of the First World War and scored for tenor soloist, choir, strings and harp, this profoundly moving cantata was first performed 10 years ago. As a choir we’re getting to grips with a piece with no recording that we know of. Luckily, our Musical Director Murray Hipkin has employed some tech wizardry (and a lot of hard graft) to produce some immensely helpful learning tracks for us. The composer’s website says “This beautiful work, with its lustrous harmonies and its poignant tenor solo, offers choirs an immensely rewarding experience.” We can certainly attest to that!
