[this is a version of a post which first appeared on my blog From the Front of the Choir]
“I love singing, but I haven’t sung for years and I really miss it.”
So why haven’t you joined a Choir or co...

the school Choir itself has, over the years, gone from strength to strength despite the need for constant renewal caused by the inevitable “turnover” as new students took the places of those who left. However, after this experience, which has included many concerts in the region, participations in Choir Festivals in Italy and artistic exchanges with youth Choirs from Germany, Hungary, Spain, Denmark and the Czech Republic, our desire to continue singing and, of course, the joy which singing together gave us all made it obvious that the time had clearly come to establish a group which could allow us to continue our Musical journey together.
Thus, once formed, the joy of singing together stimulated our vocal group to initiate a Musical journey of exploration of study which, we hope, will lead us on to ever more emotional Musical experiences while, of cou... less

This performance by the Graduate Choir NZ exploits with delight the wonderful collaboration with NZ Barok who provide the gamut of instrumental colour using original instruments (or modern copies of originals) and with specialist players from Auckland, Wellington, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.
This performance is further enhanced by the use of "Baroque pitch" - the nearest equivalent to the pitch used in Germany at the start of the 18th century where A = 415, a semitone lower than our modern pitch.
In keeping with these stylistic demands, the size of the Choir is reduced to 3-5 voices per part. In these ways, every effort is made to preserve and re-create as far as possible the "Affekt" of the Music, aligning this performance as closely as possible with what may have been expe... less
