Video courtesy of Steve Blowers. The members of Bournemouth Male Voice met at central Bournemouth and took a coach off into the depths of Dorset to give a Concert at Tyneham Church. It was an amazing evening – the church absolutely stuffed to capacity the choir uber-vibrant and full of good music. An historic event 70 years on (to the week) from the evacuation of Tyneham and the occasion, the poetry and music stirred up many differing feelings; laughter, poignancy and nostalgia chief amongst them. A privilege to take part in the event – thanks to Lt Col Ken Davies for his perfect organisation of the event – the phrase military precision comes to mind!  less

Johnson, durante el XXII Concierto de Navidad celebrado el 17 de diciembre de 2022 en la Parroquia de San José (Coria del Río) bajo la dirección de Sergio Asián y Óscar Vicente al piano. Lully, lullay, thou little tiny child, Bye bye, lully, lullay. Lully, lullay, thou little tiny child, Bye bye, lully, lullay. O sisters too, how may we do For to preserve this day This poor youngling for whom we sing, "Bye bye, lully, lullay"? Herod the king, in his raging, Chargèd he hath this day His men of might in his own sight All young children to slay. That woe is me, poor child, for thee And ever mourn and may For thy parting neither say nor sing, "Bye bye, lully, lullay."  less

Lord Jesus hath a garden full of flowers gay, Where you and I can gather nosegays all the day: Refrain: There angels sing in jubilant ring, With dulcimers and lutes, And harps and cymbals, trumpets, pipes, And gentle, soothing flutes. And harps and cymbals, trumpets, pipes, And gentle flutes. There bloometh white the lily, flower of Purity; The fragrant violet hides there, sweet Humility: (Refrain) And one thing fairest is in all that lovely maze, The gard'ner, Jesus Christ, whom all the flowers praise: (Refain) O Jesus all my good and all my bliss! Ah me! Thy garden make my heart, which ready is for thee! (Refrain)  less

The CD is expertly conducted by the choir's musical director, James Sherlock and guest instrumentalists are 17-year old Edward Picton-Turbevill on the organ and award-winning young cellist James Barralet playing the solo part in Sir John Tavener's 'Svyati' for cello and choir. The vocal blend throughout is first-rate and the choral sound is refined. There are a number of vocal solos on offer in many of the pieces and all are performed with aplomb -- I parti...    less

God rest you merry, gentlemen (English traditional Carol, harmonised by Sir David Willcocks) 2. Away in a manger (words anon, set to a traditional Normandy tune arranged by Reginald Jacques) These Carols were recorded on Sunday 13th December 2009 during the first of St Peter's Singers' two now-traditional annual performances to guests at the Espresso Bar of Harvey Nichols' Leeds store in the Victoria Quarter. The choir is directed on this occasion by its regular accompanist David Houlder, Sub-Organist of Leeds Parish Church.
