The Bach Choir Roderick Williams Philharmonia Orchestra Always an exciting moment when you start rehearsing a new work. So it is today with Roderick Williams ‘Cusp’ The Bach Choir and so looking forward to how it all sounds. Motivating word tonight? #RHYTHM !! Pitches will arrive more gradually. Rhythm rarely does that in my experience.
Thanks to Katie Derham for mentioning our new commission composed by Roderick Williams and Rommi Smith 'Cusp' on BBC Radio 3 on Good Friday. We've been enjoying this work-in-progress that Roddy shared with us, and can't wait to get stuck into rehearsing it tonight!
