ST DUNSTAN'S CHORUS 2007
Saturday 31st March 2007

The main work was Mass in C by Beethoven, a wonderful setting of the mass which has always dwelt unfairly in the shadow of his mighty Missa Solemnis.

The supporting works were Non Nobis Domine by Roger Quilter (1877-1953). This is a short setting of a text by Rudyard Kipling, composed for the Pageant of Parliament at the Royal Albert Hall in 1934.

We included 3 short pieces by Kenyon Emrys Roberts (1923-1998), whose widow Jenny is a member of the soprano section. These were a short Organ Fanfare , followed by a Choral Introit, Praise our God and concluding with Ken's beautiful anthem How Do I Love Thee?

Listen to short extracts from the concert        1. Kyrie     2. Gloria     3. Sanctus
(These MP3 files should play on your default player).

Soloists (from left to right) Reuben Thomas - Bass; Margaret Cameron - Alto; Toby Watkin - Tenor;
and Gordana Kostic - soprano; with conductor, John Lillis.

The accompanist, and soloist for the Organ Fanfare, was William Hayward.

The concert ended wih a collection in aid of Woking Hospice. On the night, £1132 was raised and Barclays Bank made a very generous additional contribution of £750.
