Resurrection Rock with the Junior Singers

Date: Friday 7 March 2008

Yesterday afternoon an audience of delighted parents, staff and pupils were treated to the Easter Cantata Resurrection Rock, by Sheila Wilson, performed by the Junior Singers (Forms 3-5 Choir). The six songs and readings poignantly tell the Easter story and the children really captured the mood of each piece, from the quiet, reflective ‘This is my Body’ to the angular, angry, ‘Crucify Him!’ The performance was given in the Chapel, the interpretations of Christ’s crucifixion in the stained glass and in the painting behind the altar being the perfect backdrop. Mrs Patterson and Mr Lambert were extremely pleased with the Singers, whose varied tone and performance form memory certainly impressed their audience! Congratulations to the two soloists Tommy and Helen.
