BATTLE CRY—UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE CHAMBER CHOIR [UMA]

Seven’s The Battle of the Choirs, which recently concluded with a spectacular television show, was a guilty pleasure that I did best to keep from hidden from my friends (ah, the joys of living alone). Was it the choice of popular songs interpreted by choirs? The nasty judge ripping into the desperate singers? Or was it just the terribly tragic premise of a choir-off on prime time telly?

The real reason to watch is lost on a CD recording of the show, because it’s not the sounds I was after, but the scary notion of dancing choirs called - rather camply – ‘Choralography’. It looked as bad as it sounds but made for hilarious viewing.

Highlights on here include ‘Bat Out of Hell’, Great Southern Land’, ‘Purple Haze’ and of course, ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’.
