So excited about this concert on 19th December @htsmguildford with @Elliot_Mercer - the choristers are finally into the Britten and we have a new version of my cantata with string quartet! Please do buy some tickets and we will help you into the Christmas spirit
@lucywalkermusic Hi Lucy - hope you’re well! Is your Mag & Nunc going to be published/available somewhere? Very keen to see if it’s manageable by the choir at HT Guildford 😊
A great joy to bring HT Choir to sing with @GuildCath yesterday. A choir of about 100 and nearly 80 under 18s - a remarkable achievement and a sound to match. Thank you @dieneswilliams for having us! https://t.co/ybejkIA7Ed
Alleluia! Christ is risen! A highlight of today @HTSM_Guildford has been the extraordinary ministry of our choral foundation - today, over 60 singers across two services, giving us Dyson, Wesley, L'Estrange, Mawby, Goodall... it is an enormous honour to minister alongside them.
@GWRHelp Hi Ryan, I’ve done that, but like I say, it just says delayed - there’s no information about what the problem is or whether they will run later so I can get home!
A joy to welcome our new rector, Simon Butler, to Holy Trinity last night. I was so proud to show off the choir of 70+, singing some beautiful MacMillan and Bairstow, in addition to soaring descants like this.
A few days on, what a joy to celebrate Christmas at Holy Trinity, Guildford. The choirs are a shining light for what great Church music can be - over 40 young people singing amazing music (@_yshani, Lauridsen, Mathias, June Nixon, Rutter and more) to full churches. What a place!
@Oli_Tarney Yes! We've been doing it at both HT in Guildford and my school @SalesianSchool, where it has similarly been named 'the piece with the cows' (with great affection of course!)
@tedneyy I think the best descant is the one by Martin How - it is banging and rarely done (it's from one of his cantatas). I picked it up @croydonminster and now do it in Guildford
@FootballRamble My brother and I visited San Marino when interrailing in 2015! It's essentially just a big hill and you couldn't even buy a San Marino shirt. Enjoyed the one hostel in the place displaying this sign though...
*RARE OPPORTUNITY FOR JUNIOR SCHOOL GIRLS*
Very unusually, the renowned girl choristers at Holy Trinity Church in Guildford have some vacancies. Singing lesson and an amazing musical education *for free*. You can sign up to try it out THIS SUNDAY: https://t.co/EIwbLjH9tM

I am so proud to teach with this amazing organisation @singforpleasure. If you're at all interested in conducting or leading singing, there is no better (or more fun) place to learn. Come along to the course this summer - you won't regret it! https://t.co/8vcVyKFG4D
So exciting to welcome @GuildCath @HTSM_Guildford for evensong today. A real privilege for me to conduct evensong with @dieneswilliams - there can't be many places in the country that had 200+ for evensong today, including ~80 young singers! Thank you all.
A sad, but special day today @HTSM_Guildford as we said goodbye to our beloved rector, Robert Cotton. It was wonderful to have 76 singers, 12 instrumentalists, @Will_Todd_Music and more for special music, including the first performance of my piece, 'Clothe yourselves with love'
