Conductors Notes + 2025/6 Dates and Music (Karen Brett)

Dear LCS!

Thank you all for a hearty sing yesterday, you are starting to sound fab! Foot on the accelerator now…..

Remember ….

Dress code – ALL BLACK

Carols for the Crib Blessing & Lighting of the Lights 

November 28th (Friday) BE WARY OF PARKING ISSUES !

Dec 13th Xmas Concert Tickets – please see Karen if you would like some, we will have well over 300 punters yet again!

Music stuff…..

You are doing REALLY well. To go from good to truly excellent, we need to work on our pitch.  In particular (like all singers) there is a danger of going flat at the end of phrases. You must engage your diaphragm and breathe for the best possible results.

Words! These must be clearer, especially in the Handel Solomon, where things get rather dense in terms of texture. The words must cut through the orchestra!

The repertoire for this concert is possibly our most varied yet, and several of you have said some really kind words to me regarding the repertoire and your enjoyment of Wednesday nights; thank you v much!

More Xmas decorations next week!

Yours musically,

Phil
