St Francis' Choir sings Haydn's "Nelson Mass" at SS Peter and Paul

On Sunday 9 September 2012, St Francis' Choir (joined by orchestra and soloists) sung Haydn's "Nelson Mass" at the Church of Saints Peter and Paul in South Melbourne (http://www.sppchurch.org.au/). This was by invitation of the congregation to help celebrate an historic occasion for the church (the centenary of the new extensions).

On the St Francis' Choir Facebook page there is a photo gallery from the day and recordings of the Kyrie and Agnus Dei from the Nelson Mass.

For those without Facebook access, these recordings have now also been posted on YouTube:

It is my very favourite orchestral mass, and it was wonderful to have an opportunity to sing it again under such enjoyable circumstances.
