Last week I wrote about Gareth Malone's TV series, The Choir - Unsung Town, which showed just how much could be gained by individuals, and their communities, by getting involved in singing.Coming swiftly on the heels of The Choir is a project called Sing Hallelujah! Probably the best-known piece of choral music in the world is the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah. In collaboration with English National Opera, who're staging the oratorio in a production by Deborah Warner in November, we're encouraging choirs all over the country to perform the chorus - a bit like our Mendelssohn O for the Wings of a Dove project earlier in the year; we want to help people get involved in singing, to find choirs, and to find choirs which are performing the piece.
So if you want to follow this up, you can find out all about it here:
- The Sing: home page is here
- The Sing Hallelujah home page is here
On these pages you'll find lots of links: how to find choirs via our interactive map, how to find out about Handel, how to log your choir's event on the Interactive Map, and how to register for a place in our special Sing Hallelujah events (Saturday 5 December 2009, 3pm - 5pm at Glasgow City Halls and Sunday 6 December 2009, 10.30am - 12.30pm at the London Coliseum). No experience necessary!
