Make a Joyful Noise
(2012)(The first book in the Sing with the Choir series)
A novel by Jenny Worstall
Sweet singing in the choir...
'Make a Joyful Noise', is the sparkling tale of a choir preparing for a very special Christmas performance of "Belshazzar's Feast".
We meet a host of characters who are mercilessly sent up by the author: Lucy the staggeringly trusting young music teacher, Tristan the lecherous anti-hero, Miss Greymitt the ageing and slightly arthritic choir pianist, Steve the handsome and trustworthy bass, Claire the shameless and scheming temptress, and singers with nothing but resonance between their ears.
Just as all does not run smoothly for King Belshazzar or the inhabitants of Babylon in Walton's music, so the characters in the novel suffer from hopeless yearnings, romantic misunderstandings and the unfortunate consequences of their own misguided actions.
All is sharply and wittily observed in a delightful mix of romance, music and humour.
Genre: Romance
