Round and round the earth is turning
Turning always round to morning
And from morning round to night.

Hi everyone.
Looking forward to sing with you all on Saturday. I will have a few spare copies of the music on the day, but please have the following pieces ready for our workshop:
Walk Forth Where All is Bright
I will aim to have our workshop finish at 12:45pm so that we can have a short break, then a quick review of all the pieces learnt on the day. This will probably mean that we will finish a bit before 1:30pm.
All the best,
Carla
Hi everyone, Please find the links to some of the music that we will be covering this year. Apologies in advance for the grainy copy of By the Babylonian Waters. I will try to make a better copy for printing … Continue reading
A new year of singing with Choirbolical will commence on Tuesday 2nd February with a new time of 7pm – 8.30pm.
We welcome our new musical director for 2016 – Carla Trott. Â We look forward to another year of singing together and welcome new members, so do come along and enjoy.
Mark all the dates in your calendar from the Rehearsals tab.
We sang in the streets, we sang at ArtMob gallery, we sang in a dungeon (Battery Point) for a ghost tour, we sang on a bus, we even sang-in the local seal with ‘Come sweet death’ at the Harbour (pictured)!
Choirbolical had a wonderful time singing and being entertained by choirs large and small and a great guide Margaret during our pop-up performances. Thank you Festival of Voices HOBART. We hope to see you again.
Hi all,
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a great Christmas.
I have updated the Repertoire page to include nearly all of the repertoire that we will prepare for the Festival of Voices in July. You will need to sign into the website to access them. Please print out copies to bring to our first rehearsal on February 3rd. A few of the pieces have been performed in previous years by Choirbolical, so a few of you may already have copies of some of the music. I will work at having part recordings done before we begin rehearsals again.
In terms of the Tasmanian Festival of Voices, I have received 19 ‘yes’ responses, with singers from each of the parts, so we are definitely confirmed to attend the festival from July 9-12. WOOHOO! I’m really excited. A list of names is included below. There is always the possibility to have more join us, so spread the word (especially to male singers!). There also might be a couple more Choirbolical members who want to come, but who aren’t signed up to the website. We can confirm again once rehearsals start.
You are welcome to purchase flights/accommodation at any time if you find a great price, otherwise I will put together a sheet of information to distribute in rehearsals. I’ve just spoken to the Festival Director, who says that there is an accommodation deal that is yet to be publicly announced, but for any participants of the FOV, Travelodge Hobart is offering rooms for $90/night. These are in the very centre of the CBD, walking distance to the festival activities, and available at this rate only to Festival Participants. If you want to take advantage of this price, you should simply call Travelodge Hobart and request the price.
I might have mixed up some of the women’s parts, but just let me know if your name is missing completely.
