Very nice performance. I am doing an assignment for school and I am wondering this: Is this the original accompaniment required? I am assuming it is but I thought I would check. Thank you!
Henry Purcell knew how to write beautiful music, in a country not known for great composers in great numbers. I think the reason school choirs are disappearing is the "No Child Left Behind" act, and the lack of funding. Perhaps selling CDs of the school's choirs, bands, and orchestras could raise enough money to keep the music program going. Perhaps posting the choir's performance on iTunes or the school's website would work.
Agreed. We have a major problem in this country over "dumbing down" and playing to the "Lowest Common Denominator."
Due to thses and other factors, such as the decline in church and school choirs, we are also in danger of loosing our supurb choral tradition that has been built up over several hundred years.
