Gorgeous choral arrangment of Waterloo Sunset
performed live at London Waterloo Station for BBC Music Day
I was just moved to tears while watching the London news and a choir sang Waterloo Sunset from Waterloo Station… at sunset.
“As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset I am in paradise.”
James Hawkins was commissioned to create a new arrangement and recording of the famous song for BBC Music Day 2018. The recording features his own Eclipse Choir, and the talented Seventh Avenue Singers, graduates of Teddington School.
The BBC then filmed the choir singing Waterloo Sunset live at Waterloo Station at sunset on a Friday night, with all the rush of commuters around us.
It was billed as a very special performance and the choir was thrilled to take part.
Our version of Waterloo Sunset is available to buy!
We’d love to hear from you
Please get in touch if you have opportunities for the Missing People Choir, or if you’re interested in using music to help your organisation or group. And you’re welcome to post your comments below too!
Dear James,
I hope this finds you well. I just found your fantastic arrangement above and wondered whether there might be a chance of us using it. We’re hoping to put together a similar performance but with lots of our office choirs performing, firstly in their own offices and then in a group performance. We will then add these all together to make a video about our musicians coming back into the city! We’re hoping to tie in with Make Music Day on June 21st.
I wondered if you were selling the arrangement or if there might be a process that we could use it.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes
Rob Garland
Thanks for your enquiry Rob. I think Jim has already replied by email with details. I hope your project goes really well!
