Beginning with a good vocal warm up, we then introduced more recent members to the Icelandic folk song for the coming of summer, NU ER VETUR UR BAE and after singing it several times, could really appreciate the beautiful morning and the promise of summer ahead.
Irving Berlin's LAZY, from 1924, was next, always an enjoyable sing and it was even suggested it should be our signature tune!
We ended the session by adding the drum and cymbal to the parts learned last week for Carl Orff's setting of 'The Fair Lady", a powerful version of the Edinburgh song about the ghost of Mary Queen of Scots.
Since so many are unable to come to next week's meeting, the last before the summer, we'll skip the lunch this time and simply round off the year with a good coffee break chat and plenty of music.
