 “May I offer my congratulations for your school making the semi-finals in the Songs of Praise Choir competition.

‘Make me the Channel of Your Peace’ is my favourite hymn and your choir sang it beautifully.  I first heard this hymn sung many years ago by a nun.  I have never heard her version of it since, but many choirs have attempted it, and not all of them as well as yours.

The wording doesn’t always naturally fit the tune, and you can hear many congregations not quite getting it right.  I don’t care what the judges said or which choirs they picked for the final, I enjoyed your rendition of this piece of music the best of all.”

 

 “I watched your school choir on Songs of Praise and I was really moved by their singing. They were truly amazing and sang the song beautifully which made me cry. The school should be so proud of them all and all  staff who helped them. Well done Unicorn.”
