On Thursday 12 November, we went to Paula Church to watch a rehearsal by the Baroque music ensemble Ars Longa, who had kindly invited us.
We began by looking around the church, which appears to be Romanesque in style. Inside, we discovered a huge stained-glass window and a magnificent organ.
Then it was time for the music! The Baroque melodies lulled us and transported us back to the era of kings and grand royal courts.
A lovely musical interlude that took us on a journey through time!
A big thank you to Ars Longa for this wonderful experience!
Here are some thoughts from the Year 4 and Year 5 pupils:
“The music was lovely. They showed us their period instruments,” said Victoria
“It was a wonderful trip,” said Analia and Ousmane
“The music wasn’t bad but a bit tiring. I think they need to add a bit more emotion,” said Mathis
“I really enjoyed this trip because I’d never heard this sort of music before. The church was magnificent. I can still remember one piece that’s still stuck in my head!” said Christy-Luna
