Music & Repertoire
In the early years, madrigals, part songs and anthems formed the mainstay of our repertoire. Once the choir was able to tackle larger-scale works, its repertoire increased significantly. We enjoy performing a wide range of choral music, from Palestrina, Byrd and Vivaldi, through Mozart, Haydn and Handel to Elgar, Parry, and Vaughan Williams, and Britten, Tippett and Rutter. [maybe link to a pdf rather than a long list of specific works?]
Inevitably, much of the choral repertoire consists of sacred music, and such large-scale works tend to feature in our spring concerts, which sometimes include small groups of instrumentalists. Our summer concerts have generally been lighter in tone, and sometimes include music linked to a particular theme. These concerts have included opera choruses, excerpts from musicals, madrigals, and a wide variety of part songs.
The tried and tested formula for our popular Christmas concerts includes both music and readings, and seasonal refreshments are always served.
