Last night we were at another Christmas Concert. Two nights out in one week: how the Trovati live it up!
This one was at the school, so Charlie and Dominique were in the orchestra. For some reason Grandma chose not to come - can't imagine why...
Actually, the school orchestra are reasonably good: strings stronger than sometimes, brass and flutes good, a bit lacking in confidence in the clarinets, and percussion entertaining.
It was another good mixed programme, though, with soloists and the choir and smaller ensembles all making contributions. The cheapest music this time was Lennon and McCartney (Michelle), and attentive readers will have detected my weakness for the Beatles, so that was OK, and All I want for Christmas is you, which was lamentable...
Highlights were a lively performance of Gaudete by the Chamber Choir, and the Orchestra's Bizet (Farandole)
The soloists all acquitted themselves well, too, and the punch at the interval was very good!
Liturgy for When You were Pleased a Meeting was Delayed but Now you've
realised there's another meeting at the original time that you will have to
attend after all

1 I was glad when they said to me the Meeting of the Moot has been delayed
2 For every meeting delayed is another meeting where the world might end
first.

Doing the rounds of Christmas concerts is one of my favourite aspects of the season. 'The percussion was entertaining'! -verbum sat sapienti!!
