That's not my Evensong! A @QuireMemes book for tenors.

@RuthElleson Exactly the same here!

(I figured it was a good word for eliminating a range of common letters!)

This was my attempted starter word on Day 1 of 6-letter Byrdle, and I had to send @rbrignall a DM asking why on earth it was coming up as “not in word list”! Byrdle 128 3/7 ⚪🟡⚪⚪🟡⚪ 🟡⚪🟡🟡🟢🟡 🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢

They’ve arrived! @QuireMemes #trebles #choristers #cathedralchoristers

@PatrickAllies To Kill a Mockingbyrd (had to check it was actually a film…)

@PatrickAllies The Wizard of Osbert Parsley

Give a film title an early music twist. I’ll start: Call Me By Your Neume

@PatrickAllies Our boys like Peas on Earth (Hark the Herald) and Get Dressed Ye Merry Gentlemen. I have never made any suggestions to them, promise…

What is your favourite Christmas lyric to sing deliberately incorrectly?

@HarbridgeSophie Thank you! ☺️

@ClanRobinson Best of luck!

Hugo’s so excited about singing the solo in this, sharing the performances with his friend Ben!

@operalastnight Amazing news, congratulations!

90 years ago today Carl Nielsen died here at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen, which is also where my son was born 10 hours ago. And some people still don't think the world revolves around Nordic composers...

It was so exciting to meet the #sheriff of #southampton @ChesterCath today (happy birthday!), and pretty relieved that she didn’t have her child-beating stick with her…

@ChesterWorks @ChesterCath @ShitChester @cwacmuseums @CheshireRO @VisitChester_ @Chester01244 Hello! What time does this event start? It just says “all day” on the booking form, and not sure when to turn up!

We’re sure kids will love learning about our #medieval past @ChesterCath, and there will be plenty of activities for them to do at our #MedievalDiscoveryDay – less than a week to go! Get tickets via link in bio 👆@shitchester @cwacmuseums @CheshireRO @VisitChester_ @Chester01244

@PatrickAllies Exactly what I thought about the range! All current “music” for children is too low for their voices. From nursery rhymes at baby groups to “worship songs” in assemblies, I rant about it all the time and nobody cares!

Sorry to be a musicologist on main, but the descending scale at the words “and we have one dream”, slightly too low for the children’s voices, isn’t very… uplifting?

Our little five year old elf with a little something to get you into the #Christmas spirit during these tough #COVID19 times! @pBoneOfficial

@SueAllan2 @RevRichardColes Brilliant! I’ve found this school-age Latin really useful, even for myself - but for me nothing beats singing in Latin!

@ClanRobinson @RevRichardColes Thanks. I'm 65(!) and using Duolingo online, interactive.

@SueAllan2 @RevRichardColes I’ve been teaching my children Latin using Oak Online Academy (starting with Year 7 Latin which takes you from the very beginning). The only thing that confuses me is that my Latin is entirely self-taught through singing and is pronounced totally differently!

@RevRichardColes I'm trying to teach myself Latin. Can you speak "conversational" Latin, or just the parts from Mass? I remember Mass Latin from school days, but trying to relearn as a language. Any tips?

@AVergersView It has a face! 😃

Keep your eyes on the sky folk of Chester, the brand new Beluga XL3 is going to land in a few minutes!! #chester @ShitChester

@StevenIsserlis @BBCRadio3 I’ve always tried so hard to like Strauss. I can appreciate there is beauty and skill in his music but I can’t listen to it easily. Having a horn-player husband means there can be disagreement in Mozart v Strauss, so it’s good to read these comments!

Hearing the trios from Cosi Fan Tutte & Rosenkavalier back-to-back on @BBCRadio3: Of COURSE the Strauss is beautiful; but I can't rid myself of the image of him deftly creating beauty, while it just flows out of Mozart. Or maybe: Strauss paints beauty, Mozart IS beauty. Discuss?

Feels a bit strange sitting in the car right outside the cathedral, watching Henry’s first (and last for a few weeks) evensong as a prob online! @ChesterCath #newprob #chorister #lockdownevensong #virtualevensong
