OC Choral Day 2001

September 2001 doomed and this year we did not get off to a very good start: (college organist and No2 in the music department at Marlborough College was unable to join us as we had picked the day that his new music department was to be opened! This might have been a major disaster had we not been saved by Libby Burgess form Uppingham who is the first female organist to break into the major Oxbridge organ scholar circus. (Organ Scholar elect of Christchurch Oxford. From the first sound of our rehearsal it was clear that all was going to be well. Our repertoire was not too taxing and was drawn from many of our old favourites which happened to be excellent music. Bach, Mozart, Purcell, Faure, Stanford, Wesley The School made us most welcome and let us loose in the Music School and Chapel; the catering department could not have fed us more deliciously and there was an unending supply of sherry and wine. The atmosphere could not have been more genial and it brought the best out in everybody I hope the singers enjoyed themselves as much as Ronald Smith and I did.
