HI there choir!
Just wanted to write a wee note to say what a GREAT performance you gave at the recent Mozart & Haydn concert. it was excellent. i've heard the choir for several years now and this was one of the best. The choir was really balanced - good to have more tenors & basses and overall, there was a real cohesive sound. Altos were especially rich in the Mozart. I really do think the choir excels in sacred oratorio works. There were some exquisite parts in the Haydn - some of the fugal counterpoint stuff between sopranos and altos was just amazing. i think the choir were obviously well-rehearsed and this was evident in confident singing and good communication as a whole. i think in some ways the choir really do rise to the occasion when there is orchestral accompaniment and, if it could be afforded, then always have an orchestra! WEll done to Aileen though, some nice little celeste/organ bits throughout - gave a lovely classical texture to it. Super soloists - always a joy to hear talent from RSAMD. Looking forward to the Faure in the Autumn - what a treat!
