Dear Soul of the World / member, Celestial Concert Society [Somerset Branch]
Congratulations on binding the scatter’d atoms and making one perfect harmony yesterday!

When the heavens weren’t telling it how it is in rain, they certainly told of the
glory of God, via the music of Henry, Antonio, Wolfgang-
Then on to the end, my choir and my Friends, with thy banner lifted high…..
Whenever you were a little sluggish he did quicken thee and ‘slumbering and sleeping’ weren’t too much in evidence during rehearsals. All flesh generally both saw it and sang it together and ‘peace at the last’ came just before the interval. It was good that so many left their humble dwellings to be with us.
On Sunday it was a pity that some of the local pubs were not able to prepare a table before me (or, indeed, anyone else!), but the cups were as full as the wallets empty at various times. We covered a lot of ground very fast and rehearsals were, as a result quite tiring. Occasionally there were some who were oppressed so hard, they could not stand.
Richard’s Carillon singing [well-
Many thanks indeed to Claire, John B, Simon F and Nick B for their solo singing,
and to Kate W for her beautiful oboe playing -
So, sphere-
May all your diapasons be perfect…
Best wishes
Graham
