Our Music
We love to sing sacred music - from the earliest to present day. Composers such as Archer, Bach, Bruckner, Carter, Chilcott, Elgar, Gibbons, Jenkins, Mozart, Palestrina, Purcell, Rutter, Sullivan, Tallis are some of our favourites.
Our lighter repertoire includes madrigals, traditional folk songs, "songs from the shows" and choral arrangements of recent and current popular songs. If you have a favourite song we would endeavour to include it in your concert. If we don’t know it we can learn it, given a little time.
