<p>"<em>The first half of the Warwickshire Singers concert on 19th November not only delighted the audience but also, with the performance of Adiemus, prepared us for a sincere and exciting rendering of The Armed Man. The insistent and stirring opening gave us all pause for thought in these days close to Remembrance Day, and the commentary notes gave us a welcome focus.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>The sensitive approach of each chorister, under Oliver's direction, gave a particular beauty and poignancy to the Kyrie, the Sanctus and the Agnus Dei.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>We were never able to forget that this is an 'anti-war piece'; the clear tone of the voices, the sensitive accompaniment of the ensemble and the dramatic insistence of the percussion swept us through a range of emotions until the haunting notes of the Thomas Mallory text 'Better is Peace' are heard. The Singers finally convinced us that that could be the case!</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>As always, it was a particular pleasure and privilege to hear Barbara's voice and the evocative sound of trumpet and flute.</em>"</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Membership</title><id>http://www.warwickshiresingers.org.uk/choir-news/2011/8/30/membership.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.warwickshiresingers.org.uk/choir-news/2011/8/30/membership.html"/><author><name>Warwickshire Singers</name></author><published>2011-08-30T11:23:00Z</published><updated>2011-08-30T11:23:00Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-GB"><![CDATA[<p>We are always pleased to welcome new members in any part, at present particularly altos, tenors and basses.</p>

(*frowns*) that doesn't mean that our existing photos are not good (from the point of view of nostalgia and fond memories of wine and laughter and more wine... oh what was i saying). Apparently websites need high resolution images to be displayed properly, and interesting images to have any value to our visitors.</p>
<p>So shots of us all in uniform lined up on stage, important occasions, people, places. Maybe one or two rehearsal photos to show us at our worst. If you have any of the like floating around your attic (or on an old memory card), please forward them to us.</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Happy New Year</title><id>http://www.warwickshiresingers.org.uk/choir-news/2011/1/10/happy-new-year.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.warwickshiresingers.org.uk/choir-news/2011/1/10/happy-new-year.html"/><author><name>Warwickshire Singers</name></author><published>2011-01-10T19:15:00Z</published><updated>2011-01-10T19:15:00Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-GB"><![CDATA[<p>We welcome the new year and a new term with our <em>locum</em> conductor and resident contralto Yvonne Rollins.</p>
