Repertoire 2007/08

We started our first year a bit tentatively, and not all the songs we sang in our first few weeks made it to public performance.

Music Divine

Once we'd sung to an audience and had some feedback, were a lot more confident in our abilities. We prepared songs from three centuries where composers had celebrated music itself (and dance) in a variety of styles .
