11 May 08 - 08:08 PM (#2337984) Subject: Liz the Squeak sings Fauré From: Micca Last night at St Alfeges church in Greenwich UK our own Liz the Squeak soloed the Pié Jesu in a stunning rendition of the Fauré Requiem presented by the Choir of which she is a member.The East London chorus gave a very sensitve and beautiful rendition of this wonderful piece of music. I know its not folk but it was one of our own singing before a paying audience and therefore worthy of an accolade and congratulations on a splendid performance. Well done Liz |

Thank you all for your kind comments, you'll have to take my word for it that I'm very pink and very touched. Thank you. Ron - it's ironic you should say that - one of our tenors is called Ron Davies. It was one of those performances that, once the first three notes were out, just sailed away with a life of its own. The venue is almost a cube, so had fantastic accoustics and I was accompanied by Edward Batting on the organ. Thank you again. Now taking bookings for weddings, funerals and Bar Mitzvahs! LTS |

The beer was a bit thin though.) LTS |

12 May 08 - 12:05 PM (#2338411) Subject: RE: Liz the Squeak sings Fauré From: Micca I dont know about Ma-sonics, She does Ultrasonics with the famous Squeak!!! the only sound heard when she stops is the thud of deaf bats running into things, like trees and buildings etc.!!! but she sings right well. It was the Organ accompaniment version, rather than orchestra, and I felt that this (more spartan) approach made the choral work shine that bit more clear and bright and it is THE most sensual piece of music (even if it is a requiem!!!)possibly ever written, right up there with Tristan and Isolde. |

12 May 08 - 12:57 PM (#2338464) Subject: RE: Liz the Squeak sings Fauré From: Morticia well done, Liz, wish I'd been there. We are going next week to hear it as it is one of my favouritest pieces of music, bet it won't be as good as you though. |

12 May 08 - 02:21 PM (#2338551) Subject: RE: Liz the Squeak sings Fauré From: Willa Can't quite rise to your heights, Liz, but the U3A choir to which I belong sang the Faure requiem at a charity concert a couple of weeks ago in a local church, with the organ accompaniment. Beautiful music and a great event. We raised £450 towards a community centre. |

12 May 08 - 02:43 PM (#2338568) Subject: RE: Liz the Squeak sings Fauré Living? From: Severn Far, eh? (as they say up North in Canada). An ocean away is much too Faure Way from the USA, but I would've liked to have heard it. You're too far out of my Aria Code. In all Pie-eaty, do you have any of that Jesus Pie left, or are you saving it in the freezer for an Easter Service or the coming (again?) sequel to the Last Supper (entitled "Just Desserts"-a Pecan Divinity, maybe?)? Savior leftovers for the rest of us, if you could! Do you have a recipe to share for Jesus Crust? We only sing about "Methodist Pie" over here, so obviously, you have better methods over there. "In The Sweet Bye And Bye We'll have Pies In Disguise When He Dies...." Was it REALLY more sensuous than trysting with Isolde, Micca? (Sorry-that joke Isolde than I am!). In God We Tryst? (So's THAT one!) "Let's Tryst Again Like We Did Last Summer"? (Isolde and no wiser?) ....I'd better quit now, while I'm behind.... |
