Sunday Worship today featured that incredible school choir.

Impeccable ensemble and tuning, and above all unanimity of vowels. Amazing T&B sound from adolescents. Many lessons to be learned from them!

(Interesting that the school is known as 'The Methody', which is how Methodist Churches were often referred to colloquially in the West Country.)

Just "Methody" in their case, no definite article . I used to take their GCSE etc. groups on field visits...

Going back to vowels, a lovely Belfast 'twang' from everyone (including the preacher) but hardly a trace from the choir.

My memory is that the choir of Belfast Methodist College has been excellent, year on year. This morning, they were on top form.

Exactly, ardarp - less is more. Made it sound effortless - the kind of effortlessness that is founded on serious discipline and practice that releases inner excellence.
