CHELMSFORD
GUITAR ORCHESTRA
Lunchtime
concert in Chelmsford Cathedral
21.06.13
Like
the ukuleles last month, guitars don't often congregate in ensembles.
Roger Montgomery's CheGO, formed in 2011, makes a very pleasant
sound, well served by the Cathedral's acoustic.
Their
repertoire is almost all composed or arranged by Montgomery
himself with this ten-strong orchestra very much in mind.
Styles
varied from the folk-inspired Peruvian Party to the gentle Summer
Breeze and the toe-tapping Turkey Time. Composers included Grieg [a
Waltz from the Lyric Pieces] to Lennon and McCartney [Day Tripper,
with that iconic riff]. Another journey, this time through a drowsy
Spanish landscape, was engagingly evoked by El Caballo.
