Year 7 have been learning about jazz concepts this term and so decided to use those skills for their Christmas performance. With jazzy rhythms, awesome improvisation and lots of fun altogether, we have two performances of ‘Good King Wences-jazz’!

All choirs are now rehearsing each week within their year group bubbles. Hot off the success of their performance in Friday’s nativity blockbuster, the Year 8 Chapel Choir are showcasing the beautiful ‘Christmas Blessing’, by Lloyd Larson (do join in with ‘Silent Night’ at the end!).  Year 6 (who were also featured in yesterday’s film, did you hear them?) sing the classic ‘O Holy Night’ and Year 7 have been learning a Spanish carol, ‘A La Nanita Nana’, which leads into the timeless ‘Coventry Carol’.

Year 6 class work this term has focused on singing techniques and listening to each other whilst holding melodies and harmonies. They chose this chilled out Christmas tune to show off their skills and everyone was given the chance to sing in a smaller group if they wanted. This is ‘That’s Christmas to me’ by Pentatonix, sung by all of Year 6, recorded safely and within their classes.

Our Senior instrumental ensemble is playing ‘Star of Bethlehem’ by John Williams. It’s one of his beautifully, haunting tunes from the classic Christmas movie, ‘Home Alone’. In the absence of a full school orchestra this term, this ensemble was put together especially for this occasion and features our music scholars in Years 7 and 8, along with some help from some promising musicians in Year 6.
