We have a thriving robed choir of around 15 adult members and five juniors.
The adults rehearse on Thursday evenings between 7.30 and
9pm.
The juniors rehearse on Fridays during term time from 7.30 until
8.30pm.
We sing a huge range of musical styles,
from Renaissance polyphony,
to the baroque glories of Purcell and Greene, to
Victorian grandeur and
contemporary church music by composers such as John Rutter,
Richard Shephard, and Philip Moore.
The choir is required to sing at the 9.30am communion
service each
Sunday and at all 6.30pm services except the second Sunday of
the month.
Four times a year we sing a full choral evensong and we usually
visit a
cathedral at least once a year to sing evensong. Recent visits have
included Bristol, Wells and Salisbury. Four years ago we released our
first
CD [Skyline Sounds] and our second [Skyline Sounds II] was released
during
Advent 2008.
We are a friendly choir and have various social events during the year.
