This is a live recording of a rehearsal from today. Excuse the chatter of folks in the background and the recording on an iPhone but you get the idea. The piece is called Ave Maria and is a different version from the one you probably know from the song that is sung at weddings. Slightly slower and reflective.

Ave Maria (Live)

The Nearness of you

This is a live recording of a beautiful piece of music called Siesta. Written by the English composer Rodney Richard Bennett, it comes from a series of pieces written for flute and piano called Summer Music. Siesta is the second movement and is a calm piece written to depict a hot summer's day as you find a shady place to take an afternoon nap. This music would be floating with the wind as you lay back, tilts your head and let your eyes fall as you enter your afternoon 'Siesta'.

Solent Singers - Coventry Carol

This is a beautiful piece of music I got to perform on flute during the concert. I originally accompanied this piece on piano whilst the talented and brilliant professional singer (Liz Ferrie) sang this piece. The words are lovely and really set the scene for Christmas.
