5th July Horizons Recording at Prior Park Chapel

Horizons Choir will be making a recording of pieces written by me in Prior Park Chapel.  This glorious building has a fabulous acoustic, and is a joy to sing in.  We will be recording my compositions that the choir have performed over the past two years - such as My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean, Jubilate Deo, and Shall I compare thee to a summer's day.  We will also be recording some new pieces that I am especially proud of; including Remember (a beautiful poem by Christina Rossetti), and A Joyful Song (The title are the only lyrics).  The album will be about 45 minutes long.

The recording will cost us around £500.   I have set up a GoFundMe page in the hope that many of you will want to get your hands on the recording the moment it's ready, and would like to support this venture both for the choir, and for me as a composer.  I'm asking for donations of £10 and above to help us out - and in return will be sending you the recording as soon as it is completed.

Here is where you can make your donation:

You will not be able to attend the recording.
