Lunchtime in the Building of Bath Museum

I went to a lunchtime concert given by the ‘Men with Horns’ (only without the horns) conducted by Mike Daniels in the Building of Bath Museum. This concert was very popular as the choir had all asked their friends, and programmes ran out. If someone reading this has a machine-readable one, I’d be interested to have it.

The main piece was a mass setting by Rheinberger, sung with the chorus ranged around a first-floor gallery (the building is a former chapel). The conductor of Priory Voices had better not find out about it, or we sopranos and altos might find ourselves out of a job (another mass by this composer is a favourite of his). There were a couple of motets by Rheinberger too and a new piece by Ed Bettella on a First World War theme.

The Building of Bath museum has unusual opening hours, and I hadn’t been there for a while. The concert ticket gives admission to the museum too, so I could browse the exhibits afterwards, and look for my house on the big model of the city on display.
