Writtle
Singers' next performance will be THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS by John Rutter with Writtle Junior School Choir, on 12th July 2008. More details
Writtle Singers is a chamber choir based in
Writtle, near Chelmsford, Essex.
"A choir of excellent discipline, diction and phraseology with a well-balanced harmony"
"Interesting music, intelligently programmed, enthusiastically sung."
The choir performs a varied repertoire
from plainchant, motets and madrigals to many styles of contemporary
music. As well as smaller, unaccompanied pieces the Singers’
recent performances include J S Bach St John
Passion, Magnificat and the Mass in B minor, Haydn Nelson Mass and Purcell Dido and Aeneas,
all with orchestra. Themed concerts are also a feature of the
choir’s
programme, with Venice, London, ‘the countryside’
and Paris all coming
under the spotlight. In 2004 the choir took part in a
collaborative performance of the Brahms
Requiem with the Valentine Singers and undertook its first
continental tour
to Belgium. In 2005 Writtle Singers took on a second continental tour this time to Prague.
2008 will bring concerts, I was glad a collection of music based on words from the Psalms, and The Wind in the Willows a concert centered around the John Rutter's musical adaptation of Kenneth Grahame’s enchanting book.
Writtle Singers meet on
Mondays from 7.45-9.45pm in All Saints' Church, Writtle, CM1 3DT (Map) to prepare for
concerts and to enjoy making music together. Occasionally
