Musical Requirements:
St James' is a village church with a strong musical tradition of long-standing, with a robed SATB choir of high standard. The choir has an extensive repertoire, and large library, and music forms a large part of services. The choir from time to time sings at other churches or cathedrals. The choir is affiliated to the RSCM and runs the RSCM Voice for Life scheme. We have a choral director, one of the current choristers. We are especially looking for a good accompanist.
Choir practices are on a Friday evening (6 p.m. to 7.30 p.m. / 8 p.m.). Regular services are fortnightly morning Eucharist (10 a.m.) and monthly Choral Evensong (5 p.m.). together with all of the special services throughout the year.
RSCM rates for a small rural church apply. There are also a variable number of weddings and funerals (separately remunerated).
Other details:
We currently have a deputy organist who can serve alongside the person appointed. This means there could be some flexibility on hours.
