We were asked to devise a new score for experimental film-maker Standish Lawder's 1970 short film "Necrology" as a part of Danae Valenza's Always Moving: A Performance Laboratory In Several Parts.
This is the only recording of it performed live by First Chorus Band Of Singers at Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces in 2008. 
Composer: Virginia Bott for First Chorus Band Of Singers
Soloist: Samantha Thornton

RESCORE: Necrology

Revisiting our beginnings... First Chorus Band Of Singers perform Seas To Cross live with Emma Tonkin at Prana House. We never sung this version of the arrangement again, it was one off to this live moment. 
Feels like long ago now...

Live @ Prana House
