13 December 2018<\/h3>\n

The carol concert took place in the magical setting of St Helen’s Church, complete with beautifully lit chandelier and displays of artwork created by the boys.<\/p>\n

Rupert sang the solo in Once in Royal<\/em> followed by the orchestra’s Vivace<\/em> from Corelli’s Christmas Concerto<\/em> and Walking in the Air<\/em>. Junior Choir performed The Light Song<\/em> in two parts and the Wind Band, led by Zach in Y8, played Strollathon<\/em>. Y3\/4 sang Te Harinui<\/em> with Nikhil in Y7 on violin, then they had the audience clapping along to the Puerto Rican carol, Feliz Navidad<\/em>, as did the Jazz Band’s Jingle Bells Meets Madness<\/em> with Tom’s (Y8) exuberant sax solo.<\/p>\n

Daniel in Y8 played May I (Wish You a Merry Christmas)<\/em> à la Charlie Mingus on double bass and Y5\/6 gave polished renditions of Torches and Love Shone Down<\/em> (soloist: Josca Y6). Y7\/8’s performance of Debbie’s Carol from Flanders<\/em>, the story of the Christmas truce, served as a fitting commemoration to mark the centenary of the end of WW1. Boys from all year groups delivered Christmas readings with confidence and expression.<\/p>\n

Folk Group danced while they played a jubilant I Saw Three Ships<\/em> and the senior choir sang Saviour’s Day<\/em> with clear diction and solid harmonies. Paul’s guitar group donned light-up Christmas hats for Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree<\/em>, we heard the crack of the whip and Ruairi’s (Y8) whinnying horse in Y7\/8 Sleigh Ride<\/em>, and Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy<\/em> performed on two flutes with purity of tone by Dilan and Leo in Y8. Chamber Choir sang the Spanish carol Riu Riu Chiu<\/em> with wonderful clarity and the whole school joined to sing Debbie’s composition, Shepherd Boy <\/em>with gusto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
