Pinsuti Chamber Choir

Programme Note

It's summer time, and a new venue for Pinsuti. We bring an amazingly varied and tempting programme: eight part sacred anthems, madrigals, songs from the shows and barbershop.

Together, we sing favourites such as "Blue Moon", "Tea for Two" and "Summer time".  We divide into two choirs for Harris' motets “Bring us, O Lord God” and “Faire is the Heaven", modern settings of texts by Donne and Spenser, respectively. We split further for the men to sing barbershop arrangements “Coney Island Baby” and “Cabaret”, and the women a modern arrangement of Schubert’s wonderful “Ave Maria”.

The Victorian era is represented by two songs by Arthur Sullivan "Echoes" and "The long day closes".  Travelling further back in time we will be singing some of our favourite madrigals, including "See what a maze of error" by Kirbye and the "The silver swan" by Gibbons.

Tea, coffee, cakes and strawberries will be available (by donation) to keep you refreshed and replete.

We hope to see you there!
