Free Halloween Concert: Solemn Mass
Okay, so it doesn't have anything to do with Halloween. But it is on October 31st. And I, for one, will want adrink bag of lollies afterward. I might even paint myself green, if I receive enough encouragement. Not that it takes much ...
The concert is on Tuesday October 31st, at 6:15pm, in Scots Church (corner of Russel and Collins Streets, Melbourne CBD. Entry is FREE.
The singers are the choirs of Scots Church and St Francis; the organists are Anthony Halliday and Tony Way; and the conductors are Tony Way and Douglas Laurence.
That's right. Two choirs. Two conductors. Two organists.
And two organs. Scots' organ is pretty deafening on its own; imagine that doubled. We're singing the Solemn Mass by Louis Vierne, which is set for SATB choir accompanied by two organs. It's going to be a hell-raiser. :D
[Edited to add: I may be wrong about the two organs - I just reread one of Douglas' emails, and apparently we'll be rehearsing "with organ and brass" at one point. So maybe one of the organ parts will be played by brass - wich would probably balance better, because portable organs are puny and weak compared to the Scots Church organ.
I suppose it'll either be one organ and brass, or ... two organs and brass. Excellent.]
[Edit #2: Douglas denies all knowledge of the rehearsal "with brass", and it seems there will only be one organ. The two organ parts have been condensed into one. SORRY GUYS.
On the other hand, Scots' Organ could probably take on any two other organs. That thing's massive.]
