Four weeks into my recovery programme, post stress fracture, and I've realised my fibular is getting a more considerate phased return to work than I ever will.

[Chris Mortlock @Chrismortlock91]

First outing of my setting of 'The Oxen' written for The Knox Singers 9 Lessons and Carols, today at 10am.

Slightly resenting my part writing now I'm singing tenor, but you can't please everyone!

[Chris Mortlock @Chrismortlock91]

@Rafaela99 @BBCNOW Ah fantastic! Thanks for letting me know :)

[Chris Mortlock @Chrismortlock91]

@BBCNOW I don't suppose there was a recording made of this? I would love a chance to hear these pieces!

[Chris Mortlock @Chrismortlock91]

@lucywalkermusic @StMartinsVoices Sounds great. Loved the shift at 1:00 :)

[Chris Mortlock @Chrismortlock91]

@cfchurcher @LudlowEngSong @Harriet__Burns @IanTindale Ah Chris that's kind thanks. I've sent you a message :)

[Chris Mortlock @Chrismortlock91]

@marcyeats That’s wonderful Marc!!

Just heading back to NZ after 5 weeks in the US with my music hat on and LA airport jumps on the chance to tell me that I’ve probably deskilled in other areas…

@ollietill Thanks Ollie! Really appreciate the suggestions!

[Chris Mortlock @Chrismortlock91]

Plea for advice 🙏

Can anyone recommend a few short orchestral pieces with a difficulty setting of 'good community orchestra'?

Any thoughts vastly appreciated!

[Chris Mortlock @Chrismortlock91]

@thewittjones @VivumMusic @rochesterchoral @BBCSingers @BRB_RBSinfonia @baritus Looks great! Looking forward to hearing it. Congratulations!

[Chris Mortlock @Chrismortlock91]

@ollietill All good points, thanks Ollie. Are there any modern pieces that you think are particularly effective whilst being accessible for most players?

[Chris Mortlock @Chrismortlock91]

@EdinOlderMH @REAS_NHSLothian @SuzieParryJohn Such an interesting idea for a presentation!

[Chris Mortlock @Chrismortlock91]

@bernardlhughes @SnashallSimon Beautiful stuff, thanks for sharing!
