Does he want to kiss me?
I’d give all the czar’s treasure for it."
This concert 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 winter are performed at St. Peters by the Waterfront, Ipswich. http://chrisrowbury.com less

Summit High School offer. They have been auditioned and selected from a program of 250
singers and identified as the cream of the crop based on their beauty of vocal tone, musical
intelligence, sight reading ability and academic achievement. They are also instrumentalists,
actors, athletes, student leaders and ambassadors of LSHS. Most importantly, they are
students who are DEDICATED to being the best they can be.

The silver swan by Orlando Gibbons
The silver swan, who living had no note,
When death approached, unlocked her silent throat;
Leaning her breast against the reedy shore,
Thus sung her first and last, and sung no more:

When death approached, unlocked her silent throat;
Leaning her breast against the reedy shore,
Thus sung her first and last, and sung no more:
“Farewell, all joys; Oh death, come close mine eyes;
More geese than swans now live, more fools than wise.”

The angel Gabriel (the old Basque Carol) sung by Roundelay
Based on the old Basque carol
1 The angel Gabriel from heaven came,
his wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame;
"All hail," said he "Thou holy maiden Mary,
most highly favoured lady." Gloria!

1 The angel Gabriel from heaven came,
his wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame;
"All hail," said he "Thou holy maiden Mary,
most highly favoured lady." Gloria!
2 "For know, a blessed mother thou shalt be
all generations laud and honour thee,
thy son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold;
most highly favoured lady."
Gloria!
3 Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head;
"To me be as it pleases God," she said.
"My soul shall laud and magnify his holy name."
Most highly favoured lady, Gloria!
4 of her, Emmanuel, the Christ, was born
In Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn,
and Christian folk throughout the world will ever say,
"Most highly favoured lady, Gloria!" less

text: John McCrae
music: Nathaniel Barnes
singer: Matthew Curtis
I
Sleep, little eyes
That brim with childish tears amid thy play,
Be comforted! No grief of night can weigh
Against the joys that throng thy coming day.
Sleep, little heart!
There is no place in Slumberland for tears:
Life soon enough will bring its chilling fears
And sorrows that will dim the after years.
Sleep, little heart!
II
Ah, little eyes
Dead blossoms of a springtime long ago,
That life's storm crushed and left to lie below
The benediction of the falling snow!
Sleep, little heart
That ceased so long ago its frantic beat!
The years that come and go with silent feet
Have naught to tell save this — that rest is sweet.
Sleep, little heart.
