This outdoor performance was the culmination of a six-week project which creates a choir from scratch for one night only. Each winter and summer, Chris Rowbury gathers a random bunch of singers from in and around Ipswich. There are no auditions and all songs are taught and learnt by ear. Usually eight songs are learnt in six two-hour sessions and in the summer are performed outdoors near Ipswich. http://chrisrowbury.com less

L'église vieille dit les heures
de l'île où la nuit descend
The church - an old church - tells the hours
from the island where the night descends
Je la vois encore son toit de gris dans le gris de l'eau.
I can still see it, its grey roof in the grey of the water
pressens dans la tour de bois
ma demeure la folie
I have a presentiment in the tower of Wood
of my dwelling place, of madness
la folie le silence
of madness, of silence
clos clos vigilance
Closed in, closed in
but keeping watch
Oh Ne pas altérer ce qui reste,
et le doit.
Oh never change what remains
and should remain
"Was bleibt aber stiften die Dichter."
What remains, however, is the stuff of poetry. less
