The Gaudete Singers Summer Concert
Directed by David Leigh
Tales of Travel
We are off on our travels again and The Gaudete Singers are delighted to bring you our summer concert. This year it’s more about the journey than the destination as we take a train and a boat or two, and we follow the sun with the Beatles. Our programme is an eclectic mix of secular music and we hope you enjoy what we’ve chosen.
We move in time from the sixteenth century to the twentieth century and through a huge range of musical styles – from an Italian madrigal written by a Frenchman to a Beach Boys song arranged by Ben Barnes, a good friend and former member of the choir. We travel from Botany Bay via the tropics to the north of England, arriving at home sweet home.
This will be interspersed with some suitably eclectic organ music played by David Leigh.
We are performing in a new venue this summer in St Philip’s Church in Dartry and are delighted to be in this beautiful building. Our thanks go to Canon Sonia Gyles and all at St Philips for making us feel so welcome.
Programme:
Italia Mia – Philippe Verdalot (c.1480 – c.1540)
Un giorno mi prego – Adrian Willaert (c. 1490 – 1562)
Cargoes – Henry Balfour Gardiner (1877 – 1950)

I’ll Follow the Sun – John Lennon (1940 – 1980) and Paul McCartney (1942 -)

I’m a Train – Albert Hammond (1944 -) and Mike Hazelwood (1941 – 2001) arranged by Peter Knight (1917 – 1985)
Home Sweet Home – Henry Bishop (1787 – 1856) Lyrics by John Howard Payne (1791 – 1852), harmonized by T Crampton
I Get Around – The Beach Boys, Brian Wilson (1942 -) and Mike Love (1941-) arranged by Ben Barnes
