New DVD Release: Echoes of Angels

Local historian, Rita Poxon, and the Chamber Ensemble, Fiori Musicali, have come together to produce a unique DVD.

In the beautiful setting of the lovely old parish Church of Gayton, Northamptonshire, Rita tells the story of its origins, and how it grew and served the local community, accompanied by the Church music of the time; from the Saxon beginnings and Gregorian chant, through the Reformation, to Protestantism and Purcell, to the modern day and Trepte!

But this is not all! The DVD menu gives you additional opportunities:

Listen to the Musical Director, Penelope Rapson, explain the music and its path through the centuries or, watch a short montage of Rod Poxon's photos of the village set to John Rutter's 'Lord bless you and keep you.'

This DVD would make the ideal Christmas present for anyone who loves our heritage or, why not, just sit back and enjoy history brought into your own home.

The DVD costs just £10 (p&p £1 to UK , £4, Australia , £3.50 to US, cheques payable to R Poxon)

From Gayton Post Office or Rita Poxon: Karibuni, Park Lane, Gayton, Northampton NN7 3HB.
