I am watching Secret World Live on DVD as I am typing this and I just realized that " Washing of the Water " would be an AMAZING choral peice to perform. With a soloist at the beginning and then the choir coming in after. I would love to have my 108 member choir perform that peice if it was written. or already done. Does anyone have any ideas, peices, or help they can provide? I would love for Peter himself to read this and help, that alone would make my whole musical life! But a man can wish. haha

there is also a more Gospel-like version of this song from the "Jools Holland Show 2003". The same version was also used for the video-clip, that can be heard on the "PLAY the Videos"-DVD.

Poetic Musician. . .have you ever seen/heard this. . . Washing of the Water ~ a cappella. . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73x84Q5zs5U Here is the version that Cimber is referring to. . . PG ~ Washing of the Water ~ Jools Holland/Play version. . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqAXWBYOWUQ Would LOVE to hear Washing of the Water performed with strings orchestra "New Blood" Tour!

That would be amazing! maybe bring in the blind boys from the "Growing Up" tour back! Thanks MAK & Climber

Nice idea. :-]

PG did an interivew in 1989 (I think it was in "Musician") where he mentioned that some people told him that "Solsbury Hill" was being used in Mass. He seemed pleased.

what is "Mass" ?

a 'mass' is the R Catholic term for the Eucharist/Holy Communion - dunno if this is what is meant. Apart from the written liturgical parts said/sung (Gloria/Sanctus/Benedictus etc) if there is a choir, they will usually sing something while people receive the bread/wine. It might have been used during this part in a church once??

All I read is that PG said he had people tell him Solsbury Hill was being "used during mass". Whether that was Catholic or Anglican, I don't know.

Sounds like my kind of Clerge! :-]
