Some of the other choirs were very close to as good as these two Welsh choirs. Some f the gospel based groups were fab.Richard Havershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309594787689405779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21660941.post-12818367728724203952008-09-02T17:46:00.000+01:002008-09-02T17:46:00.000+01:00I did see this Richard in my browsing around YouTu...I did see this Richard in my browsing around YouTube. The Carmina Burana was one of the works my choir performed with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra all those years ago and I still remember so much of it, word for word, note for note. O Fortuna sends shivers down my spine when I hear it. <BR/>I have the whole thing on record but should buy it on CD as we no longer have a functioning record player.<BR/>What struck me about this program was how many young people there were in the various choirs which is wonderful. The choral tradition is obviously alive and well in Britain.<BR/>Thanks for bringing the whole thing to my attention with your comment at Sicily Scene.jmbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563252743976699923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21660941.post-65196249451384163772008-09-02T10:29:00.000+01:002008-09-02T10:29:00.000+01:00No, they were the runners up.

I learned to love choral singing in school, so I shouldn't be surprised that a school can produce such quality, but these were terrific! Did they win?Dragonstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935435587527038459noreply@blogger.com
