Cup Day...
... will have very little effect on me; I'm at work and thought it's fairly quiet there's still plenty to keep me occupied.
On Saturday afternoon (after rehearsing Beethoven 9) P, B, Tat and I went to ACCA to see (and hear) the installation of Tallis' Spem in alium. It features a 40-track recording of the work by Salisbury Cathedral choir playing through 40 speakers. You can hear each singer by standing by their speaker, or move away and hear the whole. There's a fascinating three-minutes before the performance starts in which the choir members talk among themselves. There is some information at the Tate Liverpool site.
Sunday's gig at St John's (Ein feste Burg) went off well despite Tom S thinking we needed more tenors. Gloriana rehearsal last night for the de Rore and Gombert tonight for Saturday's concert of Tallis and Byrd; we should get the last of the music tonight!
To Mum's after St John's; a very tasty meal of corned beef and carrots ("that's the stuff for parrots"). Mum was in good form but a bit disappointed to hear that her yoga group (to which she hasn't been for a few weeks) had organised an outing without asking her if she wanted to go. I think it's a bit poor, especially considering she's the oldest (and the longest standing) member of the group. We've decided we won't book for the MTC season next year; we can go on a one-off basis if something interesting turns up.
