wow... what a big church, is it a Catholic church?

[cantorisdecani]

Yes it is. "Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral".

Hooray!

The soloist, James Orrell, is singing at our wedding in the summer.

Lucky you and congratulations! He has a great voice.

[RonanADunne]

Thanks! We first saw him sing in Faure Requiem...the obvious part, lol...not the Libera Me!

We also saw him when Marty Haugen was over - he was fabulous!

Thanks for posting this - we had posted it too, not knowing that you had.

The cathedral looked great in that programme- what a shame that so few people were there!

I was singing at the Friary so couldn't go.

I was also surprised and saddened at the attendance given that it was Easter.

I suspect plenty of people will have enjoyed the service on TV or on Iplayer though.

I beleive that they are singing the easter sequence "Victimae Paschali Laudes"

[hisclmuscl]

not proffesionals were just rebels & our director of music is always MAD! were only proffesionals in concerts, videos and recordings. its not that hard joining the choir when you sing a lot!

[belladona001]

wow, it must be hard to join the choir there i guess cos they sound professionals right? me too i'm a chorister at my church here in the U.S and always proud to be catholic..

[hisclmuscl]

try and count the sides its hard when ur processing in

[hisclmuscl]

a big one...im a chorister there

[drwestbury]

James' performance at Young Chorister of the Year on Friday at St Paul's was far and away the best. His rendition of "My song is love unknown" just rang and echoed through the cathedral.
