Marianina

From the 1967 Combined Primary Schools' Choral Concert.

For many years, in November,choirs from the public Primary Schools in N.S.W.used to combine to present choral concerts in the Sydney Town Hall.

A lengthy and quite difficult programme of unison, two-part and three-part songs were studied by each individual choir.

In N.S.W. there were no specialist music teachers, so classroom teachers had to teach the choirs. Members of the music supervisory staff of the Education Department used to visit each school to ensure a uniform standard of performance and interpretation.

The results were always beautiful.

What memories this brings back. I and other meenbers of the junior choir at Queen's College, B.G. sang this song on the radio broadcast in 1958.

Thanks for finding this and posting it on YT.

We won a regional competition in the early seventies (in the UK) after using this song for practice ; I can't even remember what we sang to win the competition - I always just remember this beautiful tune, because we all loved it. Thanks for posting.
