3 days 'til Christmas!

Here is Verity's arrangement of Silent Night for two cellos and piano, inspired by Rick Nelson's choral arrangement.

Silent Night was first performed on Christmas Eve 1818, bringing the story and atmosphere of a calm and bright silent night to people in a difficult time. We hope this brings some festive joy to everyone during this year's Christmas season.

Katherine Lee Bates’ poem “Starlight at Sea” was presented to the group by Verity as a focus point for the performance.

Over the past week our members have been taking time to reflect and describe in as few words as possible on what the poem means to them after spending time compositing music to accompany the words.

We would love to hear your thoughts on the poem! Here’s what we came up with:
“there is hope, even in darkness, “shadows will always exist in the light” and “calm in all the chaos”.

Below are the words of the poem for your own reflection while we are in this time of stress and uncertainty.

Hello! We are the Gilmore Ensemble, a group of six music students at the University of Glasgow brought together by the uni to work on a 10-minute concert to take place on 26 November 2020. Here's a picture of our first (and socially distanced) rehearsal!

We’ll be using this page to document parts of our rehearsals and to keep you up to date with our progress and what’s going on.

The project we’re working on, Starlight at Sea, will be a 10-minute immersive and atmospheric experience to take place in the University Chapel. The words of Katherine Lee Bates' poem 'Starlight at Sea' will be set to music, both composed and performed by the Gilmore Ensemble. The event will be livestreamed online, but limited in-person tickets are available on our Eventbrite page (https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/starlight-at-sea-tickets-126000716535).

Our members are: Agostina (soprano voice; cello), Ciara (violin), David (trumpet), Jennifer (piano; flute), Kieran (piano) and Verity (soprano saxophone; cello).

*Please note, this is part of a university assessment.
