BELLA ON TV ONE’S PRAISE BE
Sunday 16 November
9am, TV ONE

Bella performed “Keep Your Lamps” on TV ONE’s Praise Be as part of a special Nelson sesquicentennial programme. Leave us a comment . . . >

Keep watching Praise Be as Bella recorded 3 more pieces for later broadcast.

Belle a Cappella, you and your accompanists should be exceedingly proud of yourselves for your work yesterday at the Praise Be recording in the cathedral.

You were all awesome!

I told the staff this morning about how I threw my hands up in the air with glee after each successful take. I was so impressed– that you were able to stand up there, do a run-through then record each piece in one take. ONE TAKE! (O Sifuni Mungu was complicated to record, from a technical point of view, so the 2nd take was inevitable).

You learnt the new piece, Keep Your Lamps, in record time. And I don’t just mean the notes, I mean the expression, dynamics, tempo changes, mood . . . the percussionists had even less time! You pulled it off like you have been singing it for ages.

This is another enormous step for Belle a Cappella. You’ve opened up the choir to a whole new audience– the Bellalution WILL be televised!
