No,
It will be full moon tomorrow night.
New moon is when it's very small.

Dave, ISC and thank you..... However...

On Sunday night three members of our family we returning from a very
unusual concert in a local church. An emotional experience. Daughter
was fumbling to get key and let me in and I was looking upward there
wasdefinitely a Full moon (*face* sad-looking much in evidence. From
the car it had been obscured by streaky cloud, but was quite clear
the last I saw of it. The *Man in the Moon* ??)
From the kitchen window it was bright... to have looked at it through
telescope would have been quite an experience- or even my very good
little binoculars..

Correction.. Correction... Apologies...
It was Saturday night, not Sunday night, we were at the Choral
Society Concert.
I was very tired reaching home.

Margaret again.


:-))

What sort of music?

I have been asked by a local Radio Station to do a series of talks on
Classical Music. It was Choral which introduced me to Classical in the
first place when I was at School, Bach's Magnificat :-)) I was about
12/13 and the teacher was Miss Lewis. I went on to marry a Lewis, no
connection and pure coincidence ;-)

This was Choral and Instrumental, Mike. KKendal Choral Society.
St.Thomas' Church.
Karl Jenkins' Requiem. Conductor: Alan Gardner. Accompanist: Michael
Critchlow.
The Misa Criolla by Ariel Ramirez. (died 2010) A setting in Spanish
of the words of the Mass.
Each part of this work using regional folk music style from Latin
America.
So it was tied in with corresponding parts of the Requiem as it is
known here.
A musical tribute was also paid to the sufferers of the earthquake and
tsunami in Japan.
I have a spare programme if you would like me to send it to you... I'm
not sure you'd wish to reveal an address.
Let me know on this thread if you can.

Sincerely, Margaret



Thanks for the offer Margaret, but I don't even keep the programmes of
events I have been to ;-) I just wondered what you were performing. Not
sure if the Misa Criolla by Ariel Ramirez is the one I know because it
was played quite a bit a short while back. Have to see if I can find it.

Best wishes

Mike

I was not performing, Mike. I used to sing in Choirs in Manchester and

Northamptonshire years ago, but a Thyroidectomy put paid to that, and the
family take me to events now.

I sang in a choir of about 150 last September in the middle of the
Atlantic!! On a Music Cruise on P&O's Aurora to the USA and Canada and back
and we did a performance of The Mikado on the way back ;-)) Great fun. John
Brunning of Classicfm was the compare throughout the cruise.
