For anyone interested in West Gallery singing, there's a workshop next Saturday as part of the Poynton Jubilee celebrations. You can join in doing "Murdered Anthems and Improper Psalms" at Poynton Methodist Church from 3-30 to 5-30. Here's a link to the website



Hope to see some of you there.

Cheers

Alan

Thanks for the reminder; I enjoyed a similar workshop in Warburton last year so I'll try to get along for some more Improper Psalms.

Hope you can make it Matthew. As well as the Impropes Psalms, I bet you'll join in heartily with "Hail Smiling Morn" again.

Look forward to seeing you.

2. Anon: 'Come and taste'
3. Anon: Trumpet 'Blow ye the trumpet blow'
4. Cooke: Canon 'Heav'n and earth'
5. Beesly: Psalm 8 'O thou to whom all creatures bow'
6. East: A Trisagion 'Holy, holy, holy'
7. Anon: Morning Song 'Let every tongue'
8. Clark: Cranbrook 'While shepherds watched'
9. Lonsdale: Gilgal 'Glory to thee'
10. Owens: Psalm the 15th or the Funeral Hymn 'Weep not for me'
11. Wainwright: Psalm the 24th 'Ye gates and everlasting doors'
12. Sankey: The Christian's Good-Night 'Sleep on beloved'
13. Spofforth: 'Hail smiling morn'
14. Davenport: An Anthem taken out of the 150th Psalm 'O praise God'
15. Schultz: Christmas 'Thou child divine'

And much more if there's time. Hope to see you there

Just come back from Whitby folk week, and a week of West Gallery singing.

Who do I contact to do this locally?

Robert Fawcett.

Hi Robert,

The West Gallery Music Association website gives some contact details of local choirs/quires including for the Grace Darling Singers who meet at Poynton, but Arcane Lag may be able to give you some more up-to-date information so I'll ask him to post something here.

I've noticed on the WGMA website that there is a weekend of West Gallery music due to be held at Cheetham's School of Music in Manchester from 18-20 October 2013, which you might also be interested in. See the WGMA Calendar for further information.

Thanks for that henryp.

I can strongly recommend the West Gallery Carols Workshop in Sedbergh; I went last year and enjoyed a day singing some very lively and vigourous carols including some interesting and unusual ones, some of which had strong local connections. Sedbergh is a lovely town to visit, and has some wonderful bookshops.

The Grace Darling Singers are hosting a West Gallery Workshop this Saturday at New Mill, so they won't be rehearsing at Poynton on Sunday.

I'll post details of the workshop when I get home.
