Ailsa at wheres my backpack has posted rhythm as her challenge theme this week and here is my interpretation. Are they singing a rhythmic gospel song or something more baroque? you decide!
Maybe the lady with her trainers peeping out is a clue? I took the photo at Chichester cathedral.

About Lucid Gypsy
Gilly Mbachu Goldsworthy is a mum to two kids that are supposed to be grown up and mma to a four year old and a new born baby boy. None of that means that I am grown up though! I love writing – travel and quite edgy fiction – and being an OU student for a degree which remains to be seen. What I do best though is counselling; I’ve been privileged to work with many people through big changes.
I love to hear a choir whatever they are singing. It is just glorious!
In an ancient building it’s just amazing!
Hi,
Great photo, you just have to love the trainers.
Yep Hahaha!
I like gospel, especially “Amazing Grace” is awesome.
Me too except I have to not join in because I can’t sing!
Love the photo. I say, gospel.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Sorry unfortunately it wasn’t
choirs are so infectious, i laways want to join in … lovely photo … were you in the service or just passing through?
Just visiting, a lovely cathedral
Trainers on or no, I think there might be more body movement if they were getting into the Gospel! But hey, there’s a whole lot of rhythm in choral music – weaving descant and alto melodies, etc., and the choral interludes create punctuate the rhythm of the service:)
And I love those deep red cassocks (do you call them cassocks when lay people are wearing them, I wonder?)!
I agree! this was all about the sound which was hauntingly lovely. I’m not sure about cassocks but yes what a gorgeous colour
Thought so:)
They could be singing just about anything – and the thing about being in the choir is that you might be wearing just about anything under that cassock! (Though the truth comes out at coffee hour, so we tend to dress reasonably respectably…)
Ah a singer in our midst, so they are called cassocks
No clue
But a lovely and colourful shot!
No Gospel sadly, just lovely churchy singing!
haha this is brilliant, I don’t know what everyone else is singing, but I’m betting the lady with the sneakers is singing ‘Na na na na na na, getting jiggy wid it’. LOVE IT, who’d have thought Chichester would be so cutting edge
I’m sure she would love your ideas1
Looks like Christmas holiday music to me!
It was May but I guess rehearsals have to happen!
Great entry, Gilly. You really do need a great sense of rhythm to sing in a choir.
I bet yes, sadly I have the rhythm but no voice!
those trainers are classic……:-)
Aren’t they? I’m all for comfort too!
Love that older woman in the back – I bet she has an amazing voice!
Too right, go grandma you rock!
What a great piece. Loving the trainers x
Me too! thanks Susan
Gilly what a smashing shot…i love it.
Cheers my dear, it jumped out at me!
Great photo for the challenge. It is perfect. I think it’s baroque.
Why ? Well, because baroque is very serious and the trainers
are fun; therefore, opposites. Well done, Gilly.
Toodles,
Izzy
P.S. I just learnt a new word – trainers. We call them sneakers. I
like trainers better.
Thanks honey! I remember when I was little my Sindy dolls wore sneakers but the word never caught on here!
