I thought that it might be fun to blog on just one piece of music that we are including in our Autumn concert each week to try and whet your appetites. That way you can start to learn the programme along with us - and maybe even suggest dance moves that you would like to see us attempt. Preferably nothing to exciting or energetic there! And definitely nothing that requires extensive use of memory for most of us on the stage (actually that has just given me the idea for a blog entry on how movement to a song helps you remember the words and tunes better, so hold that thought for a while for me!).
Personally I think that we have some cracking numbers in the concert this year and I so disappointed that I can't be up there on the stage with the rest of the company giving it my best.
So for my first little appetite whetting review, I think I will focus on the current vogue song made famous by the military wives. I am sure that you will have enjoyed it in the run up to Christmas 2011.
'Wherever you are' is a surprisingly lovely number which was created specially for chorale work. One of the many things that Belper Musical Theatre is recognised as being good at it is our choral approach and sound, so we are all excited that we are going to be singing this one - with the men included as well as the ladies.
The outcome for our audience is a really wonderful sound and we are sure that everyone will find it very moving. It is a good reminder that all too often the freedoms that we take for granted come at a very high cost to our armed forces and their families. But that even in the heart of this sorrow and fear, love shines through.
What do you think of this choice for our show? Would you expect any movement to this one, or do you think standing still and singing in harmony would offer the most fitting and moving approach?
