The work, called Poohratorio of course, is due to be published once AA Milne goes into public domain (2031).  less

It is based on a Czech Furiant (a fast dance with metre shifting between duple and triple time) called "Sedlák, sedlák", which was also sung as a light-hearted and frolicsome song gently poking fun at a corpulent farmer. The words of the carol are by Malcolm Sargent himself. Girls and boys, leave your toys. make no noise, Kneel at His crib and worship Him. At Thy shrine, Child divine, we are Thine, Our Saviour's here. "Hallelujah!" the church bells ring, "Hallelujah!" the angels sing, "Hallelujah!" from ev'rything. All must draw near. (etc)  less

The madrigal became de Rore's most popular work, one of the most widely distributed madrigals of the entire 16th Century Ancor che col partire io mi senta morire, partir vorrei ogn'hor, ogni momento: tant'e il piacer ch'io sento de la vita ch'acquisto nel ritorno: et cosi mill'e mille volt'il giorno partir da voi vorrei: tanto son dolci gli ritorni miei. Although when I leave you it is as if I were dying, I would wish to leave you every hour, every moment, I am so very happy when life comes back to me when I return: and so I wish I could leave you many thousand times a day because my heart leaps with joy when I return.  less

There has been a long tradition of musical excellence at St Laurence’s. The original church, built in the 1880s, had a strong Choir of men and boys who took part in the Festival of Britain services in 1951. When the new church was opened in 1968, the musical tradition continued. A new Walker organ was installed in the church, using some pipework from the old organ and Directors of Music have included David Sanger, Professor Roger Wibberley, Paul Dewhurst, Tom Fowkes, Marcus Wibberley, Iain Simcock and Andrew Ibbotson. The current Director of Music is Huw Morgan. Girls were first admitted to the Choir some ten years ago, but the Choir remains unique in this part of south-east London in that it continues to use only trebles (girls and boys) on the top line. The lower parts are provided by volunteer adults from the local community. Young people receive an excellent musical education, and ...    less
