Ein feste Burg (part 1)

As P was going to one of his U3A films this morning there was no shopping planned so I took the shopping jeep down to Woolies to get a few things. I had brunch at Quint before coming home.

Not much achieved this afternoon, but after an early dinner I went into St John's for a cantata rehearsal. It's Ein feste Burg this time, which has quite a long first chorus. Essentially an elaboration of the chorale with grand accompaniment (and this time with the trumpet parts added by WF Bach) we spent most of the rehearsal on it. Despite it sitting quite high for the tenors it is actually musically not too complicated.
