Music is the most splendid, seductive, thrilling, magical, a-logical, wild, peaceful,enlightening, calming, exciting, thought-provoking art that I know.
I love "Classical" music, and play the piano, church organ, and recorders. I also am privileged to be the musical director of The Bisley Ladies Choir whom I force (though never against their will) to sing madrigals, airs from musicals, folk songs, carols, glees and lots more. (For more information see BLC).
When not singing with the ladies, I used to sing with my (rather eccentric) Male Voice Quartet. It was an eccentric quartet as it had five singers – we joked that we always had one extra to pour the beer. In fact The Acorn Singers were able to sing trios, quartets and quintets of wide-ranging styles. The earliest music we sang was from the fifteenth century: the latest was composed specifically for us.
