Reminder: today @ 3.30 p.m.
Pretty unusual repertoire?
Certainly worth tracking.

Loved the Rachel Laurin vol.
Psalms pretty well disciplined with such a big choir to organise.
Anthem caught the ear - everyone had jam, so nice Festival piece.
Not much taken with introit - though tricky music and well enough sung - or the Weir canticles, I'm afraid. Heard them before, of course, but they just seem...well, a bit dull.

Apologies for not reminding listeners of the 2 p.m. repeat time today [Sunday].
