Remembrance service with music from The Nave Choir, interspersed with poetry and Scripture readings.
The Nave Choir are singing Words and Music for Remembrance at The Nave on Sunday 8 November, a service of music and readings held in Chester.
The title tells you exactly what it is: the choir provides the music, and between the songs, there are poetry and Scripture readings. It's not a straight concert, but a service where the singing and the spoken word take turns. The choir handles the musical side, and the readings—drawn from poetry and the Bible—fill the gaps, so the music and the words work together rather than one just backing the other. It's a format that lets the music breathe, with the readings giving you a moment to settle before the next piece starts.
Because it's a remembrance service, the whole thing is built around that theme. The choir's music and the chosen readings are both tied to it, so the singing and the spoken word pull in the same direction. It's the kind of thing that works best when you're actually there, sitting in the space and hearing the voices carry across the room, rather than just reading a programme.
