Immanuel's
Ground is a
West Gallery
Quire,
formed in 2001 in Warwick.
Together with a small band of
instruments we sing and play music
from the period roughly 1700 to 1860 which was once
the mainstay
of church and chapel music throughout England
We draw
our members from the "Heart of
England", which, generally speaking,
is Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire.
We do also have several members from
further afield.
We
practice at
Northgate Church Hall, Warwick, CV34
4TH on the
2nd, 4th and 5th
Wednesdays in the month at 8 pm.
The Quire has
suffered from a loss
of membership over
the last two years,
and we would love to
welcome more singers
and
instrumentalists,
whether they have
heard of west
gallery music or
not. Come to any of
our practices on a
Wednesday evening in
Warwick - there's a
free car-park right
next to the Hall in
which we practise.
We are also holding
our Quire 'Away Day'
at Byfield in the
Village Hall NN11
6UT
to which you are
invited to attend -
see details in the
yellow box below ...
HERE ARE TWO
INVITATIONS TO JOIN
IN |
SATURDAY
18TH MARCH 2023
We
are holding a day of
West Gallery Music
WITH NEW MUSIC AS
WELL AS OLD
FAVOURITES
at the Bowls Club
Committee Room,
Byfield, Northants,
NN11 6UT
(on the A361 road
between Banbury and
Daventry)
to which we invite
SINGERS and INSTRUMENTALISTS on all
four parts -
Treble (ie Soprano), Alto, Tenor and
Bass -
to join in with us at
practices.
Saturday
Some of the older music is
tenor-led, i.e., the tune is sung by
the Tenors,
and the Trebles have a very
important counterpoint part.
Altos and Basses
help to enrich the
harmony, and all
parts are doubled by instruments
which are
appropriate to the
music so loved by
Thomas Hardy.
Bring your own
lunch.
Baguettes also available
across the road at
the Cross Tree Inn,
Byfield.
A Falafel Hut will
also be available at
lunchime at the pub.
Visitors and
potential new
members are
most welcome;
please get in touch
if you would like to
attend - we need to
know for catering
purposes and for the
production of
music.

When Musick's notes with steps already move Thro' virtue's paths, and breathe with heav'nly
love, The rapt'rous mind from earthly mansions flies, And soars aloft above the starry skies.
