[Fitz Choir @FitzChoir]

Fitz Choir and two organ scholars rehearsing for the Leavers’ Service on Sunday at 6pm. All hugely welcome, especially leavers @FitzwilliamColl

[Fitz Choir @FitzChoir]

We are SO proud of our legendary soprano Claire Brillon, absolutely smashing it in the winning Cambridge @theboatrace boat. Great to see ourselves singing some @bernardlhughes in the preamble too!

[Fitz Choir @FitzChoir]

Do indeed - Emma was superb!

[Cambridge Linguistics @cambtweetling]

I also sang in @FitzChoir’s performance of Allegri Miserere last night which went really well and I was really happy with it - skip to 16:00 if you fancy a listen! https://t.co/BMYLkZh5ta #CambTweet

Hurray for Claire Brillon!

Cool to have a film crew in our rehearsal today @FitzwilliamColl following our rowing soprano Claire around for the @theboatrace preamble. Hard work pretending to laugh at @fontegara’s rubbish jokes, though

[Fitz Choir @FitzChoir]

@cambtweetling Hurray!

[Fitz Choir @FitzChoir]

It is a fabbo piece @kj_funk and we love singing it. Our DoM @fontegara says it ‘tastes like Evensong ought to feel’ and as usual we have no idea what she’s talking about

[Dr Kerry Andrew NOW ON INSTAGRAM @drkerryandrew]

Congrats to @fitzchoir for their new album The Stalk Had no Knots! It includes a fabbo version of my piece Before the Ending of the Day alongside other choral awesomeness including by @bernardlhughes @_kerensabriggs Arvo Part & Amy Beach https://t.co/87csmQt0fO

[Fitz Choir @FitzChoir]

Oh yes, please do! This is a première recording of a really quite extraordinary piece written for us. Our DoM @fontegara recommends it warmly to her colleagues provided they read the dedication

[Fitz Choir @FitzChoir]

We highly recommend it, but of course we do. Cheers!

[Fitz Choir @FitzChoir]

Our album The Stalk Had No Knots is now on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music and YouTube Music. Director of Music @fontegara is so excited she’s bought it

[Fitz Choir @FitzChoir]

Here’s the absolutely luscious repertoire list, featuring music by @bernardlhughes, @_kerensabriggs and @kj_funk alongside many other spine-tingling, tree-y things

[Fitz Choir @FitzChoir]

We had a lovely choir Christmas dinner this evening at the Carpenters’ Arms

[Fitz Choir @FitzChoir]

@QuireMemes See also ‘Do you call this a semicircle’

[Fitz Choir @FitzChoir]

And warmly and sympathetically recorded by Alex Barnes @appleandbiscuit, to whom huge thanks

[Fitz Choir @FitzChoir]

The name of the disc comes from the text to @bernardlhughes’s piece Above the height of heaven, with words from the medieval Liber Celestis of St. Bridget of Sweden’s mystic revelations

[Fitz Choir @FitzChoir]

The piece Bernard wrote for us is spectacular. Really, really amazing piece. We’re very privileged

[Fitz Choir @FitzChoir]

Here’s a little preview!

[Fitz Choir @FitzChoir]

Here we all are with our copies. Our DoM @fontegara has matched her outfit to the tree on the front cover

[Fitz Choir @FitzChoir]

Few things more exciting than opening a new box of discs

[Fitz Choir @FitzChoir]

Our disc The Stalk Had No Knots, with music from @bernardlhughes, @_kerensabriggs, @kj_funk and lots of other wonderful people is now in the world! Physical copies from @FitzwilliamColl, and on Spotify and iTunes/Apple Music from next Thursday 8th. We are so proud of it!
