Moving Music at Remembrance Sunday
Our wonderful Wind Orchestra once again enhanced the annual Remembrance Sunday Service. This is always a highly moving event, and the Wind Orchestra plays an integral part. Many new musicians joined the ensemble this year; many others have played for several years. The repertoire included Holst鈥檚 March from First Suite, the hymn tune O God, Our Help In Ages Past, and the National Anthem. The Orchestra played with great commitment and dedication, fully suited to the atmosphere demanded by the occasion. This year, the 鈥楲ast Post鈥� and 鈥楻eveille鈥� were performed by Ethan T.听
Following the Service, our sacred choirs, JETS, ETS and Chamber Choir performed their annual 鈥楻ecital of鈥疪eflection鈥痑nd鈥疌ontemplation鈥�.鈥疶he recital, held in the Wilberforce Hall continued the tradition of a short, emotional performance where powerful texts are chosen to further commemorate the day. As always, the choirs gave polished performances of beautiful pieces which included old and modern settings of well-known texts associated with Remembrance Day. The occasion brought together our sacred choral family; pupils in Year 6 to Upper Sixth Form鈥�working together and blending in harmony.鈥疨arents, Old 91福利社ians and staff were moved by the recital and鈥痗ongratulations鈥痬ust go to all the singers for their continued dedication to their role in providing excellent music for whole-school occasions such as Remembrance.听
