And so we bring the curtain down on 2018 for the choir with a trip to, for many, a familiar haunt in Dunblane Cathedral. The Parry music – especially Crossing the Bar – was beautiful in the setting as night fell. As always, our thanks to Frikki Walker, soldiering on through a bad cold to…
The first half of our 2014 season drew to a close with a fine Choral Evensong in St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral in Glasgow on Saturday 14th June, following which a pleasingly high number of choir members moved along the road a little to Munro’s Pub where despite the noisy (but good natured) crowd already there…
York Minster At the weekend members of RSCM Scottish Voices travelled over the border to make a foray into England to sing for the first time as a choir. Well, 20 of us did. Numbers were limited because we were joining with the other three, longer established, RSCM Voices choirs who regularly get together every…
Breakfast in the local Wetherspoons pub, an enjoyable day of rehearsing, leading towards an excellent Choral Evensong followed by an equally excellent fluid-replacement session back in the Wetherspoons made for a delightful day for RSCM Scottish Voices in Aberdeen at the weekend. We were a little low on numbers, with a couple of sopranos having…
On Saturday RSCM Scottish Voices visited Thomas Coats Memorial Baptist Church in Paisley (TCM) where at their request we sang Choral Evensong and were made to feel very welcome indeed by their organist Matthew Edwards and various members of the church who kindly provided us with tea and biscuits whenever we stopped singing for more…
Our most recent meeting was a very successful one at St John’s Episcopal Church in Forfar on 11th September. That date resonates round the world in its better known format of 9/11, so music was specially chosen by Frikki to commemorate the 9th anniversary of the events of 2001. Unfortunately at very short notice Richard…
Another meeting, another stride forward! Unfortunately at the last minute our exceptionally talented Musical Director, Frikki Walker, wasn’t able to rearrange his regular Saturday morning teaching commitments at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama (RSAMD) so wasn’t able to join us exactly as planned, however fortunately our exceptionally talented Organist, Richard Walmsley, stepped…
The next event for RSCM Scottish Voices is a full Choral Evensong on the first Saturday in Lent, which is 20th February 2010, in St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral, 300 Great Western Road, Glasgow at 4pm. The music list is: Introit: Salvator Mundi – John Blow (1649-1708)Responses: Thomas Tomkins (1572-1656)Canticles: Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in e…
The choir continues to develop and grow in corporate ability, as yesterday’s service in Haddington showed. There were a lot of call offs, partly due to the weather and partly for other reasons, so a smaller choir than usual, consisting of nine sopranos, three altos, four tenors, and six basses, turned up at the incredibly…
Although the photo, taken by gordonrasmith, is from our summer residential weekend back in August, our most recent service took place last Saturday, 28th November, at 4pm in St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral in Edinburgh, when we sang Choral Evensong. The music list was: Introit: Hear my Prayer – Henry PurcellResponses: John SandersPsalms: 137 & 138Canticles:…
