Who
Membership of the choir is open to all interested singers.
Singing with the choir carries no implication of further committment. This is a self contained project and once done and dusted, that's it. You will be kept informed of other similar projects, but not with an expectation that you will participate.
It is NOT expected that singers will be able to sight read music. The piece(s) chosen will allow for a range of musical abilities and, for those who want to use them, downloadable rehearsal tracks will be available.
This choral project will be led by Philip Norman
Music
- For the choir: We'll aim at doing two pieces, and introit and an anthem. One of them we will have sung before and one will be a new piece.
- For the choir and congregation: a selection of suitable hymns.
It won't be necessary for singers to download and print the music themselves, this will be provided.
Introit - Father, In Whom Thy Saints Are One
Anthem - O What Their Joy and Their Glory Must Be
