FOR THE MARRIAGE OF NARELLE DENNEHY AND GLEN TITMAN, THE ESK ENSEMBLE SANG


Sometimes great things come in little packages.  On April 27th it was an awesome sextet from the ESK COMMUNITY CHOIR whose harmonious hymn singing as well as an inspiring collaboration of sounds from flute and organ which  provided the music for the wedding of Narelle Dennehy and Glen Titman at Corpus Christie Church, Nundah. 
Though unfamiliar with the intricacies of such a magnificent organ, Margaret's ingenuity at the ivories and masses of musical talent were evident when, together with the intoxicating sounds of Suzanne on flute at the outset, they had the guests captured with the strains of Pachelbel's "Canon in D".  The lilting  harmonies of the hymns throughout the service and finally to Clarke's "Trumpet Voluntary"  signalling the exit of the newlyweds and guests from their places in the  magnificence of Corpus Christie Church, the ensemble's singing and music soared to the hallowed domed rooftop.
The Dennehy family are longstanding residents of the Esk district and it was indeed an honour for these members of the Esk Choir to provide the music for their beautiful day.
