Sing in - The Messiah 13 November
This was an enormous success, and an exhilerating experience for those who participated in St Mary's Priory Church.  All had an excellent view of our conductor up high in the pulpit.  He added interest by making short comments on the background to The Messiah, its production by Handel, and he gave comments on the biblical meanings etc.

Carols
From 18 November using Carol Book 5 Gold, 100 Carols for Choirs, and the green (?) carol book.  Meeting at St Mary's 7pm-9pm.  Lateral Flow Test two days or less with negative result essential.  Otherwise be masked.

100 Carols for Choirs midi
Valerie has located a useful midi for the white book - 100 Carols for Choirs:

She points out that there are instructions on this News Page to slow down the midi, pointing out that it is merely a matter of right clicking on the midi window.  Then click on Enhancements in the dropdown menu and select Speed.  Adjust accordingly.
