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.
