Just to reiterate, Voice Project Choir members should learn from bar 1-16, then from bar 40 to the end.
Thank you.

Norwich Patriotic Society Manifesto 1795
“We believe that the great end of civil society is happiness”
Demos of this have been recorded and are now online here. Composer Orlando Gough has made this setting. We were wondering if this extraordinary, egalitarian document has been set to music before (?) You can read more about the background to this text which agitates for parliamentary reform by following this link:

Planning the project
Great day today spent planning the project with Sian, director Geraldine Pilgrim and the team from the Norfolk & Norwich Festival in the cathedral cloisters, working out our dawn and dusk manoeuvres…
Then into the nave of the building:
Coast Choir Debut Performance
Cromer Parish Church pre-performance 17th March 2012
A good-sized audience (250+) greeted this debut in Cromer Parish Church last Saturday evening. We certainly got great feedback for the performance which wove songs of the sea together with poems, guitar and tambura interludes from Adrian Lever and one of the great local stories of Cromer, that of the heroic Henry Blogg. We’ll be back to perform more with this great group of singers. Many thanks to the Sainsbury Centre and the Crown Estate for their support. Watch this space…
Just to remind… this week’s Singing the City rehearsal is on Thursday!
…in the Friends Meeting House. See you then.
First bunch of Singing the City rehearsal demos up on Voice Project website
Just go to the members’ area – type in username and password and listen and/or download the demo audio files of Helen Chadwick’s ‘Illa Lucem Extendebat’ and Jonathan Baker’s piece ‘Into Dusk Into Day’. There’s more to follow. One more thing, you’ll need a Flash-enabled device as no iPods or iPads will do it…
Good luck!
