Programme Note
Norwich Community Choir will sing a diverse and polished programme, sung entirely from memory, of around 20 choral arrangements at Norwich cathedral. These will include the choir’s exclusive version of Allegri’s Miserere, as well as songs from around the world and some festive numbers Several pieces were arranged by Meg Turpin, the choir's musical director.
The choir's reworking of Allegri’s masterpiece preserves the sensuality and mood of the original, whilst bringing it into the present day with new words. The poignant lyrics were taken from the words of the Norwich Community Choir members expressing their feelings about belonging to the choir.
This concert is in aid Nelson's Journey, who support bereaved children and young people in Norfolk.
