Fitz Choir and two organ scholars rehearsing for the Leavers’ Service on Sunday at 6pm. All hugely welcome, especially leavers @FitzwilliamColl
We are SO proud of our legendary soprano Claire Brillon, absolutely smashing it in the winning Cambridge @theboatrace boat. Great to see ourselves singing some @bernardlhughes in the preamble too!
Do indeed - Emma was superb!
I also sang in @FitzChoir’s performance of Allegri Miserere last night which went really well and I was really happy with it - skip to 16:00 if you fancy a listen! youtube.com/live/ZupXMxntbAI… #CambTweet
Hurray for Claire Brillon!

Cool to have a film crew in our rehearsal today @FitzwilliamColl following our rowing soprano Claire around for the @theboatrace preamble. Hard work pretending to laugh at @fontegara’s rubbish jokes, though
It is a fabbo piece @kj_funk and we love singing it. Our DoM @fontegara says it ‘tastes like Evensong ought to feel’ and as usual we have no idea what she’s talking about
Congrats to @fitzchoir for their new album The Stalk Had no Knots! It includes a fabbo version of my piece Before the Ending of the Day alongside other choral awesomeness including by @bernardlhughes @_kerensabriggs Arvo Part & Amy Beach youtube.com/watch?v=7eT6fZxA…
Oh yes, please do! This is a première recording of a really quite extraordinary piece written for us. Our DoM @fontegara recommends it warmly to her colleagues provided they read the dedication

Our album The Stalk Had No Knots is now on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music and YouTube Music. Director of Music @fontegara is so excited she’s bought it
Here’s the absolutely luscious repertoire list, featuring music by @bernardlhughes, @_kerensabriggs and @kj_funk alongside many other spine-tingling, tree-y things
The name of the disc comes from the text to @bernardlhughes’s piece Above the height of heaven, with words from the medieval Liber Celestis of St. Bridget of Sweden’s mystic revelations
And warmly and sympathetically recorded by Alex Barnes @appleandbiscuit, to whom huge thanks
The piece Bernard wrote for us is spectacular. Really, really amazing piece. We’re very privileged

Here we all are with our copies. Our DoM @fontegara has matched her outfit to the tree on the front cover
Our disc The Stalk Had No Knots, with music from @bernardlhughes, @_kerensabriggs, @kj_funk and lots of other wonderful people is now in the world! Physical copies from @FitzwilliamColl, and on Spotify and iTunes/Apple Music from next Thursday 8th. We are so proud of it!
And wasn’t she splendid
Also it was @FitzChoir carol service last night - it was AMAZING and so much fun! Link here if anyone wants to see: youtu.be/XQ9O6FxW0iU. I also got to do the Once in Royal solo which was really cool 🥰Felt a bit emotional at the end as it’s my 4th and final carol service🥺
Our Junior Organ Scholar Charlotte looking fabulous
Thanks to all the volunteers who helped with pictures at Fitzwilliam College today :)
