Sunday Sessions are one-off scratch choir events where people come together to cover a song in stunning 6+ part harmony. At this session we'll be learning God Only Knows by The Beach Boys.
These events are designed for people who have done some sort of group singing before and can hold a harmony line (alongside other people singing the same part - there are no solos here!) The music is thoughtfully arranged to be that little bit challenging but still accessible. We spend a couple of hours pulling it all together, creating something unique by the end of the evening and recording the end result. We normally have at least one instrumentalist with us but occasionally venture into the world of a cappella.
We let you know the song a week or so in advance so you can familiarise yourself with your part before the session (with the help of audio recordings & sheet music we’ll send you). You absolutely don’t need to know it inside out and we don’t want anyone stressing about this! We will still learn everything together in the room but this just allows us to spend more time immersed in beautiful harmonies and less time note-bashing.
Singing with others has a unique way of making you feel pretty amazing and is a wonderful way to end the weekend/start the week. It’s the perfect Sunday ritual (in our humble opinion).
Maybe you can't currently commit to a regular choir but miss the buzz of singing as a collective. Perhaps you already belong to a choir but want to experience a different approach. Maybe you simply want to lose yourself in music for a couple of hours on a Sunday evening. Whatever the reason, we’re here for it!
We explore songs by artists in the indie/pop/folk/rock/soul/alternative worlds (keeping this deliberately vague so we’re not boxed in!)
When you book, you’ll be asked to choose a voice part just so we have a good balance on the evening. Don’t worry if you’re not exactly sure which part to sing: just make your best guess. Once you listen to the audio recordings if you feel you’ve picked the wrong voice part you can drop us a note to swap :) The voice parts in order of highest to lowest:
Soprano
Alto
Tenor
Bass
We often split Sopranos and Alto in two groups. When we split, the 1s of each part go slightly higher and the 2s go slightly lower, but there's really not much in it.
The session will start at 5.15pm so please feel free to arrive any time from 5pm to settle in. We recommend bringing a bottle of water. We'd love the session to be as screen-free as possible so will give you a printed copy of the sheet music to use (don't worry if you don't read music - you can use it for the lyrics).
