@Mobbsca @ianaitkenhead @JulieCooper74 @Meelybugg @alexkidgell @kirstyjhopkins @EdwardMcMullan @decmusic @bendaviesbass @ejdougan @StupotLFC @jimmyvacance I didn’t dare listen to it! 😭☹️xx

@ianaitkenhead @JulieCooper74 @Meelybugg @alexkidgell @kirstyjhopkins @KimPorterMusic @EdwardMcMullan @decmusic @bendaviesbass @ejdougan @StupotLFC @jimmyvacance This is a really tough one. I just don’t know which way to go. Made the mistake of listening to the Lobo which just reminded me of how much I love that piece but the Miserere..... it means SO much to me personally and us as a group.

It's the grand final, so let's see if we can get some special guest commentators. Where are YOUR votes going, @JulieCooper74 @Mobbsca @Meelybugg @alexkidgell @kirstyjhopkins @KimPorterMusic @EdwardMcMullan @decmusic @bendaviesbass @ejdougan @StupotLFC @jimmyvacance ?

@TheSixteen Very very hard to decide. But so sorry Jimmy, it has to be the Lobo for me.

FINAL GAME - CPT 2020 James MacMillan: Miserere youtu.be/2cjIq2i4aYI vs. Alonso Lobo: Versa est in Luctum youtu.be/l_yvto3ufjo

🚨🎶🚨WELCOME TO THE FINALS OF THE CHORAL PILGRIMAGE TOURNAMENT. 🚨🎶🚨 And yes, this is an appropriate use of all caps. Many thanks to @ianaitkenhead for co-hosting.

Yey! That’s nice news

@roseandfriends @elirolfejohnson @PetrocTrelawny Oh my goodness, he was the most wonderful man with such an exquisite voice. I’ve recently been listening to him singing Vaughan Williams ‘The Infinite Shining Heavens.’ Almost impossibly beautiful.

@elirolfejohnson @PetrocTrelawny Thank you!!! I’m such a fan of everything your father did.

Anthony Rolfe Johnson truly was one of the greatest singers who ever lived. This is a wonderful tribute by @elirolfejohnson and friends to him. youtu.be/pKLr2awGZus

@EdwardMcMullan @TheSixteen Yes definitely!

@TheSixteen Down to the nitty gritty! It’s got to be the Miserere!!! #macattack

Annnnnd WELCOME to the semi-finals of the Choral Pilgrimage Tournament! We have three juggernauts of the Renaissance and @jamesmacm representing the 21st century. First match will begin today and you will have 48 hours to get that vote in!

@TheSixteen @GenesisSixteen @Genesis_Fndn @Mobbsca @ejdougan @JulieCooper74 @JessLHaig @mandamacleod @RDMR1 @Voicedoctor_uk @Sviceridor So lovely to see you all. Lovely consort singing, congratulations. Jess Haig, you are amazing! Looking forward to hearing you all #SoundsSublimeOnline tomorrow.
