"After the concert of French music we were approached by Patrick Flynn, musical director of Jesus Christ Superstar and composer of numerous rock operas. Patrick asked to take SCUNA for a concert in October 1973 and after a long search, came up with Bach's double-choir motet Singet dem Herrn and Britten's eight-part work A Boy was Born as the works to be performed. Unfortunately, Patrick (who was flying to Canberra each weekend for rehearsals) came up against personal problems, and had to drop the project in early September, leaving us in a fairly sorry state. Brian took over, and, deciding the Britten work was too difficult, came up with a concert of German music, consisting of the Bach, plus music by Schutz, Hassler, Brahms, Buxtehude and Isaac. Unfortunately the time was not sufficient and the concert was distinctly under-rehearsed, and the audience was again disappointingly small."
