On Thursday, Cobalt class joined with children from primary schools across Rutland to make a very special recording of Horowitz's 'Captain Noah and his Floating Zoo' and Benjamin Britten's 'Psalm 150'. It is 100 years since Horowitz was born, and 50 years since the death of Benjamin Britten and so it was fitting for these two composers to be chosen by Music in Lyddington for bringing primary school voices together in song.

 

Led by Peter Davis and a band of professional musicians, around 350 children raised their voices in song to tell the story of Noah, alongside a professional singer. It was a busy day, with lots of notes to learn and, I am told by one of our pupils, 93 'two's to be sung! (The animals came in two by two....)

 

The children were a credit to the school as always, listening carefully and joining in with gusto.
