Wills Morgan’s Anglo American Tour

To celebrate his 50th birthday, Wills Morgan, lyric tenor, has undertaken an Anglo American tour over the next few months.

The Music and the Rhyme, a sequence of songs for a May evening was held on 1st May 2010 at St Andrews Episcopal Church, St Andrews, Fife. Lillias Scott hosted the recital and Wills, accompanied by Richard Black, sang songs by her father, FG Scott, and husband Erik Chisholm. Purcell, Haydn, Quilter, van Dieren and Ronald Stevenson all featured in the ambitious programme, which made for a special evening’s entertainment. Wills is much more than a singer of songs.

My Voice is the Door at The Hub, King’s Cross, London on 5 June was more of the same, yet very different. Accompanist Jeremy Limb and soprano, Helen Cocks, joined Wills in an informal atmosphere of pizza and beer. The first half was similar in content to the St Andrews recital but the second half was all Chisholm with readings from Purser’s biography, piano excerpts from the Scottish Airs and Poems of Love shared between Wills and Helen. The ECT at Wills request has produced a new edition of the Poems of Love with 5 of the 7 songs transposed for medium voice.

Music for a Summer Afternoon at the Cathedral of the Isles, Millport, Isle of Cumbrae on 8th August 2010 was a jewel of a concert. A beautiful venue and programme of songs by Ronald Center, Erik Chisholm, FG Scott and Ronald Stevenson. Fearless, marvellous and roof raising is how Nicholas Hyntner, Director of the National Theatre, described the singing of Wills Morgan at the Cathedral of the Isles when, accompanied at the piano by Alastair Chisholm, he gave a recital of songs by 20th Century composers..
