…not even a power outage! We had a fantastic Bach Vespers this evening, despite the fact that a power cut in the church threatened to spoil everything. Bach didn’t have electricity and it didn’t cramp his style, so we rose to the challenge and continued undaunted. No organ, no problem – we changed to a harpsichord instead. No heating? That’s what coats are for. No light? Torches and clip-on lights did the trick (safer than candles). The picture shows our wonderful team of singers rehearsing in the dark. It was interesting making music without being able to see our colleagues. The sheer relief when the power came back in time for the service added an extra celebratory touch to our performance of Bach’s amazing BWV 80 to a full house on this Reformation Sunday. This will be a Bach Vespers to remember!
