The journey
continues! Lullaby of Broadway; Lullaby of Broadway-v3-alto.mp3 Lullaby of Broadway-v3-bass.mp3 Lullaby of Broadway-v3-sop.mp3 Lullaby of Broadway-v3-tenor.mp3 Brother can you spare a dime: Elibama: Seasons of Love: Dawn: Over The Rainbow: ‘Oddities’,
which is now co-led by Nicola Oddy and Jack Hurd, began as a
church folk choir at St. Pauls United Church in Perth in 1993,
and has since expanded to become a community group with nearly
50 members. The name is derived from the name of the
leader, Nicola Oddy, but also reflects their selection of
music, and their musical arrangements.
The arrangements originated by listening and learning
to create their own harmonies, and, although they continue
creating harmonies for some of their repertoire, they now
primarily work with the written score. Their selection of
music is an eclectic mix of gospel, folk, spiritual, pop
and traditional. In
this concert you will hear arrangements by Jack Hurd, and a
composition by Peter Morgan, one of our choir members.
You will hear pieces such as ‘Holly Holy’ by Neal
Diamond, ‘Scarborough Fair’ by Simon and Garfunkle, ‘Out
of the Mira’ – a cape Breton folk song, and ‘This Little
Light of Mine’ – a fun arrangement of an old gospel tune. The
group is very fortunate to be joined by their long standing
band with Ed Ashton, Simon Bennell, Richard York and Joel
LeBlanc on Guitar. Jack Hurd and Maureen Young fill on keyboard and piano.
In Song,
Nicola
