Chatting with Channing
Our musicians woke to a lovely sunny morning in Split and after a filling breakfast got down to work. By the end of the morning they had managed to put the Schubert Mass together with orchestra and also Miss Zanardo`s mash up - `Rocket`.
After lunch in the old town they got on the coach to go to Klis Fortress and had a fascinating guided tour from tour guide Laura, a graduating Art History student at Split university - the second largest university in Croatia after Zagreb. The small chapel had an amazing acoustic and so they couldn`t resist giving an impromptu performance in there! Another resonant place is the stairwell of the hotel where Bea, Bella and Stevie decided to sing `Royals` (a piece we did with those that came on the 2021 tour to Croatia) whilst climbing all the way up to the 7th floor! Their performance can be heard on the group`s Google classroom.
On returning to the hotel there was an opportunity to use the indoor pool before walking to Konoba More restaurant not far from the hotel.
After a very full day, rooms fell quiet very quickly on their return to the hotel!

Our musicians had a very smooth journey to Split on Saturday. Many rooms face the sea and the students were able to enjoy glorious views out along the coast with the mountains in the background and the glorious sunshine on their balconies.
Having had an amazing buffet breakfast on Sunday they all headed to their two rehearsal rooms and spent the next four hours rehearsing a large part of their repertoire including:
You raise me up
Rocket - A `mash-up` for Choir and Orchestra arranged by Miss Zanardo especially for the trip!
Schubert`s Mass in G
`May it be` for an a cappella arrangement
`Both sides now` - Joni Mitchell - also an a cappella arrangement
`Music from Gladiator` for orchestra
`Oj Jelena` - a Croatian folk song - in Croatian with pronunciation coaching from Ms Della-Porta.
Looking forward to all that this week has in store!
