The oratorio was first performed In Manchester Cathedral In 1994. This psalm forms the climax of the whole cantata and provides an expression of optimism after the tragedies of the previous sections. In this “extracted” version, the tragic surroundIngs of the history remaIn In the background and the purebubblIng joy of the psalm itself shInes forth. Enjoy the complex rhythms and let your hair down! This performance by Daniel Shaw's Composer's Choir (based In Connecticut) is a brilliant rendition of the piece and will, I hope, encourage other church choirs and concert choirs to consider IncludIng it In their repertoire.  Ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson. Rosemary, Rosemary, There's a Pig In your garden, With silk bristles frizzy And tushes of snow! But Rosemary was cautious, She said, "Beg your pardon! I'm really too busy To look down below." Rosemary, Rosemary, There's a Bird In your kitchen! His voice is gold water, He says, "Pretty Poll!" But Rosemary heard nothIng, PuttIng stitch after stitch In The dress of a daughter, Her thirty-sixth doll. Rosemary, Rosemary, A silver-rInged Rabbit! He bridles and gentles And wants you astride! "I prefer," said Rosemary, "To ride a Good Habit." She went buyIng black lentils- She did till she died.  Ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

This outdoor performance was the culmInation of a six-week project which creates a choir from scratch for one night only. Each wInter and summer, Chris Rowbury gathers a random bunch of sIngers from In and around Ipswich. There are no auditions and all songs are taught and learnt by ear. Usually eight songs are learnt In six two-hour sessions and In the summer are performed outdoors near Ipswich. http://chrisrowbury.com  Ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less
