Tracy, one of our altos, tells the story of how she 'made an album'....
In my early twenties I was an au pair in Paris and during that year I sang in a choir having done a fair bit of choral singing in my school years. Amongst the pieces we sung was Haydn’s The Last Seven Words of Christ on the Cross… only in French.
We then performed it in the wonderful church of Saint Germain des Pres in central Paris, which was unbelievable. And, it was recorded so I even have this vinyl copy of the performance. It felt special at the time and now I look back on it with an element of pride. As you may be able to imagine, it isn’t a joyous piece of music!
