4 W5: Who, What, When, Where, Why

Easter is not just one day, but a whole sea- son of seven weeks, from Easter Sunday to Whitsun ().

Within that season, there are certain days of particular significance. One of these occurs forty days after Easter Sunday and is called “Ascension Day” – to celebrate the return of Christ to His Father in Heaven.

The other days of importance are in the week immediately following Easter Sunday itself. In our Western we call that week “Easter Week” (not to be confused with “Holy Week” that leads up to Easter). In the Eastern Christian tradition the week after Easter Sunday is referred to as “Bright Week”. In those six days of Easter Week we recall Christ’s first appear- all.

The choir was under the familiar director- ship of JanJoost van Elburg who wasted no time in beginning the warm-up and then launching into the initial run-through of as many pieces as we could in the time avail- able to us. Preparation is key as there is al- ways a lot of music to get through and only just enough time to bring it up to perform- ance standard so there is no time for “note bashing”. If you can’t sing the right notes (in the right order and at the right time), then JJ will simply say, “Can you fix that, please?” – so, no pressure!

It made for a much less tiring journey than driving the whole way in one day. I had a leisurely start to the day on Fri- day with a drive of just four hours to get my hosts’ home in Summertown in north Ox- ford. I arrived mid-afternoon which gave me time to settle in before we made our way to the now very familiar rehearsal venue of St Michael & All Angels’ Church to join St. Michael and All Angels Church the other thirty singers for our first four

7 cism that caused the formation of the Cister- cian order. It is believed Bernard founded a monastery on 25th June, 1115, naming it Claire Vallée, which evolved into Clair- vaux. Bernard died at the age of 63 after forty years as a monk. He was the first Cis- tercian placed on the calendar of saints and was canonized in 1174. The text of the piece evokes a conversation between a liv- ing soul and the spirit of Bernard.

After a short break, we moved forward around five hundred years and began the second half of the concert with Hymn to St. Cecilia. This is a tricky choral piece by Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) and is a set- ting of a poem by W. H. Auden written be- tween 1940 and 1942.
