I went back to choir practice tonight after about six weeks off. My chest infection seems to have finally subsided and I’m just left with a tight feeling in my chest and my voice is a bit growly so I was coughing a bit after trying to sustain notes.
I did have fun, we sang some sea shanties, including Haul away Joe. A Ghanaian song, a song from Australia and one about a Low bridge on the Erie canal.
Sopranos, Altos, Tenors and Bass singers were all there and we harmonised really well together. I’m really sorry I missed the Christmas Carol pub crawl and the Wassail in January. I’m glad to be back!

Christine. How good is that? Singing is so good for us especially in a choir. I use to sing in a band at my old church and was in a community choir with my work. What Australian song did you sing? Lynn

Do you mean a corroboree? I find it a bit strange you would be singing something from a traditional Indigenous ceremony. Our choir used to sing some aboriginal language songs.

Yes that was the word, the song was passed on to us by an Australian. We sing songs from all over the world. I really like Maori songs like one called Ehine.
I guess as we learn by repetition we get some knowledge of beautiful music from around the world xxx

And what a beautiful thing that is! We used to do some African spiritual songs as well.
