The first recording of Sturk’s Phos Hilaron
I mentioned in the last post that I would also post the recording of Stephen Sturk’s Phos Hilaron that 9 of us made at the Cathedral of St John the Divine in 1986. You can listen to it here.

My own version of Nero’s Expedition
Well, what can I say? I was so taken with it I had to record my own version. Hope you enjoy it. Thanks to Moondog for writing such an interesting and unusual song. Paul
Nero’s Expedition redux
To those of you whom we had the pleasure of hosting last night, here is Moondog singing Nero’s Expedition. As you may notice, we got it wrong––the round starts after 4 bars, not 3. So, now we’ll have to drag it out next meeting and get it right. Not such a bad thing. I’m really fond … Read more
Session 2 recording – 10 March 2016
What fun last night was! Thank you, all. So, here are a few bits and bobs from last night’s session––a nearly lovely Non nobis domine (I say nearly because we’ll do this again, and better), a little jocularity around Britten’s treacherous setting of the word “merry,” and our first complete read-through of the canon from … Read more

Rest, Sad Eyes – Another new madrigal to learn, c. 1600
This is a lovely little piece, a bit different from other works we’ve done. It’s not at all difficult but it often doesn’t go where you think it’s going to, so look and listen carefully. Rest Sad Eyes_SAB Rest Sad Eyes_SOPRANO Rest Sad Eyes_ALTO Rest Sad Eyes_BARITONE

Secondate aurette amiche (from Cosi fan tutte by Mozart)
Here’s another one to be working on as I think we’ll be going back to this piece soon. Maybe it’s one to sing for our guests at our end of term party? Well, no, probably not. Not enough time to rehearse. Consider it a summer assignment. Soprano audio *Mind, this next one is labelled Soprano … Read more
