I have just blubbed my way through 'The Choir' episode 2 on I-player. Unabandoned joy at the power of music and community. I sang full-time in a Cathedral choir from 7 'till 14, performed big choral works, radio, TV, LP the lot so I have some knowledge of singing and performance.
I missed the program it on Tuesday but Mrs FF watched it 'live' up stairs and afterwards came down to the kitchen where I was communing with you-lot and proclaimed "I'm gonna find a Choir and sing!"
I was semi-stunned. As I guess you don't knowe the long suffering Mrs FF I'll tell you that; she's quite shy, quiet, has no real hobbies or interests outside of being a super-mum and wifeand doesn't like choral music (in fact any classivcal music) and has never sung apart from Church from time to time... so I was surprised. I thought I'd call her bluff by googling the local choir... and bugger me, tonight she went! Turned-out that she knew a mum at the school gate who she thought sang and it happened that it was the same choir we found. And she loved it! Now we have a copy of Poulenc's 'Gloria' on the kitchen side...
And I'm immensly proud of her. And thank you BBC.
