Mendelssohn day

We sang Statham in D and Mendelssohn "O for the wings of a dove" and took photos at the end for recruitment purposes. I played part of Mendelssohn 3. The new folders and copies had arrived and the choir processed from the back during the first hymn. Enjoying Mendelssohn all day on radio 3. John Sessions was hilarious pretending to be interviewed as Mendelssohn and taking sideswipes at other composers. We had delicious trout for lunch. Evensong at 5 p.m. went really well with Adrian Adams at the organ. We sang Murrill in E and O for the wings again. The introit was "Good Joseph had a garden" to the Cherry Tree carol and the responses by John Sanders. I wonder if Mendelssohn would have enjoyed the Wagnerian aspect of them being based on the Dresden amen much used in "Parsifal". At the end we all sat and listened to Sonata No.3 in A.
