I suppose this is the equivalent of Bourneville in the UK; a town built on chocolate! Here we are in Hershey, performing our Postcards programme this evening and holding masterclass sessions tomorrow morning before driving up to Washington, DC.As we drove in, past the chocolate factory, there was a wonderful sweet smell in the air (although I have to admit that I'm not a massive fan of the chocolate itself) and we're looking forward to delivering our global music lesson this evening. The Postcards programme is going down well so far, and it's very rewarding for us to journey from country to country, with changing styles - both melodic and harmonic - acting as cultural snapshots along the way. Particular favourites are "Volare" from Italy, and the beautiful Welsh lullabye "Suo Gan," which many people recognise from the film "Empire of the Sun."We're often asked what our favourite pieces are within a specific programme, and for me I particularly like the South American offerings in this Postcards sequence. There's an unmistakeable style to music from this continent, and our wonderful arranger Miguel Esteban has captured it perfectly - whether in the slow Pasional from Ecuador, or the sprightly Tico Tico from Brazil. These songs have to be delivered with emotion and passion, and it's always a pleasure to sing them.If you haven't managed to hear the Postcards album yet, it's available from the usual sources - and I'm delighted to be able to let you know that there will soon be a Postcards Songbook available, with 8 of the album's tracks contained therein. Happy singing!
