We did two performances of Handel’s [Jephtha](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jephtha_(Handel)) last weekend. It’s the last oratorio that Handel wrote and a really lovely work.

It was very interesting from the choir’s point of view. It’s unusual for us to perform a non-contemporary work that nobody in the choir has ever done before.
