PRAISE FOR SONGS OF PRAISE
PRAISE FOR 'SONGS OF PRAISE'
Sir,
As a music lover for a long number of years, I write to express my profound appreciation of the recent TV Songs of Praise transmission from Omagh.
It was evident, in the short time available to prepare the programme, that every aspect of it was treated with taste and sensitivity.
The interviews were all very moving, the hymns selected were most appropriate and the singing of the beautifully balanced and well dressed young choir was simply superb.
I though that both the soloists and narrators renditions were a sheer delight to listen to and faultlessly delivered.
All in all, the whole performance not forgetting the film sets if that is the proper description to use in the tragic circumstance, was a fitting tribute, following the dastardly atrocity in our town.
We are very much indebted to all the participants and also the programme producer, especially for including the 23rd psalm with band accompaniment, used during the Service of Reflection at the Courthouse, the previous week.
We are also grateful to BBC2 for the repeat showing the following Sunday.
Yours sincerely W.B.
Hospital Road, Omagh
