My choir gave two performances of Britten’s *War Requiem * back in February: one in Perth and one in Sydney. The Perth performance was recorded and now ABC Classic FM will be broadcasting it on Anzac Day (Wednesday 25 April), commencing at 8.00pm Sydney time.

That’s really cool. I love Britten. For my last high school choir performance, we sang A Cermony of Carols. They were some of my favorite pieces to sing ever. I bet the War Requiem was fun too, although a tad bit more depressing.
Sorry to hear that, Nawth Chucka. Have you tried the three options?
Beautiful music, this. Thanks again for letting us know, Cunctator. (As luck would have it, I’m doing some transcription stuff right now. This is helping me get on with it no end. Love hearing classical music while I work.)
