Sparse Audience for the Waverley Singers
On Saturday evening Pont-d’Ouilly church welcomed The Waverley Singers, an English choir touring Normandy.
Few music lovers turned out to enjoy this concert, which promised to be of a very high standard. The choir comprised 70 singers, conducted by Malcolm Hicks, with organ accompaniment by Paul Griffiths.
The choir performed mainly works by early English composers (Green, Purcell) and more recent English composers (Parry, William Mathias). French music (Franck, Fauré, Vierne, Duruflé) and Belgian music (Lemmens) were also heard.
The concert opened and closed with two Coronation Anthems by G. F. Handel.
