Bracknell Choir

For the first three rehearsals we will prepare for our performances at Hambleden Church Teas (RG9 6RS) on Sunday September 24th, 2.30–4pm. We will perform two short sets with a break in between, with music listed in the order below.
After Hambleden, we will look at a couple of pieces for the Bond concert and then prepare for Christmas (returning to Bond in January…).
 

Wokingham Choir

Before we prepare for Christmas, we will look at some of the repertoire for our Shakespeare Concert on April 24th, 2024. This includes the substantial five-movement work ‘In Windsor Forest’ which we will perform with orchestra. The piece is Vaughan Williams’ arrangement of five choruses from his opera ’Sir John in Love’ (1928). Two of the movements include words by Shakespeare, and the remaining movements include texts by Shakespeare’s contemporaries including Ben Johnson and Thomas Campion. We will start by looking at movement four: the Wedding Chorus.
