I only gave one performance in August – a Eucharist (including a baptism) at Bath Abbey with the Abbey Chamber Choir. Our anthem was a piece new to me Peter Philips’ Ave verum. We were sparse because of people being on holiday, so our conductor accompanied us on the chamber organ to fill in a missing part, and unlike the choir’s previous performance of it the motet wasn’t transposed down. (It is easier to keep the rather high soprano line on pitch if you are accompanied.) Normally I’d be doing a Cathedral visit in August, usually with the Cathedral Chamber Choir, but not this year – other activities including two foreign choir tours have limited the time I can give up.
Also went to a service at my church led by some of those on the RSCM course held this summer at Kingswood School; these courses have been an addition to summer church music in Bath for many years.
