Valley Voices debut^ with striking style


THE Ribble Valley’s newest choir was launched in spectacular style at English Martyrs RC; Church in


Whalley. An audience of almost 150 gave an


enthusiastic response to the singing of “Valley Voices’’, under the baton of founder-conductor Glen Pate, and to its two guest soloists. By the end there was little doubt that Valley Voices seems des­ tined to become a real force among East Lancashire choirs. The choir, accompanied in some pieces


by Janet Ismail, arranged the concert as a “thank you” to the church for provid­ ing rehearsal facilities. The ladies of the choir opened the con^


cert with a spirited account of Purcell's “Sound the T rum p et” and the men joined them for a smoothly sung motet “Non nobis Domine”, by William Byrd. Then the style jumped forward 500 years to the theme tune from the film “The Rose”, recently re'vived by Westlife. Tenor John Shaw showed his artistry


with “The Legend of Klein Zack”, from “The Tales of Hoffman”, and “The Eng­ lish Rose”. The choir then followed with two folk


song arrangements by, Glen Pate,Lhe lively “Silver Birch”, from Russia, and. the bibulous shanty “All for me grog”. A beautifully-toned “Two Roses”, by Hein­ rich Werner, completed the set. Joanne Smith showed why she has a-


worldwide reputation as a coloratura soprano -with “If I loved you”, from the musical “Carousel”, and the whimsical “H Bacio”. The choir brought up the interval with


a haunting treatment of the Simon and Garfunkel classic “The Sound of Silence’.’. Two selections from stage musicals formed most of the second half. Kather-


- ine Blebta, Kate Pool and Rita Eidson were the leading solists in a tour through


' “West Side Story”. Katherine and Kate also took the major solos in pieces from “The Sound of Music”. • -


Between the sets, Joanne Smith sang


“Sunrise, Sunset”, from “Fiddler on the Roof”, and a chilling account of “Rusal- ka’s Song to the Moon”. John Shaw followed his Irish ancestry


with “The Kerry Dancing” and the audi­ ence joined in enthusiastically with the chorus of “The Holy City”. The concert was brought to an end by


Pfeil’s “Calm is the Sea”, sung with a beautiful, smooth tone by the choir, and the “Zum Sanctus” from Schubert's sec­ ond German Mass, sung in German. At the request of Father Philip Price,


the evening ended 'with the singing of the hymn “For all the Saints”, to mark All Souls-tide. The choir has been approached for sev­


eral engagements and is busy drawing up a schedule for the coming months. Any­ one who would like to book the choir or join i ts ranks is asked to ring 01254 824312. . • See conductor Glen Pate’s appeal for sheet music on our letters page.


Residents out in force to object


i '- .


MORE than 100 Whalley residents turned out in force to a meeting to air their con- ; cems about plans for a new housing devel­ opment.


■ ,. A planning application has been submiL


: ted to Ribble Valley Borough Council by developer George Wimpey Manchester Ltd, for 60 homes, as well as car parking


' spaces at Calderstones Park, Whalley. ' The plans have sparked fury -with resi­


dents who fear the scheme would not only place an extra strain on Whalley’s roads and schools, but leave children with nowhere to play.


: ^ ^ The meeting was held at the Aspinall


. ArmSj Mitton, and was chaired by Andrew -Bury, of Ribbleton Grove. ■ He outlined the many material objections to the development, including the increased traffic and danger for motorists and pedes­ trians at the junction between Pendle Drive and Mitton Road. Other points raised at the meeting were


th e concerns of overcrowded primary schools in the Whalley area and many resi­ dents felt that the proposed houses them-


' selves did not reflect the character of the existing houses on the Calderstones Park estate.


. : Parish councillor Steven Barker also


spoke a t the meeting and gave advice to residents wishing to register their objec­ tions -with Ribble Valley Borough Coun­ cil: ■ -
