Welcome to the choir's website

March's concert review here

The last concert of this season is something VERY different.

If you have previously been put off by the word choral or the fact that it takes place in a church, then the music on offer this time will certainly dispel those reservations! The front cover of the music should help confirm this ...

Captain Noah and His Floating Zoo is a light-hearted musical take on the famous bible story. The music is by Joseph Horovitz, with lyrics by Michael Flanders, of Flanders and Swann fame. The music is catch and varied; the words very witty and amusing, sung very much 'tongue in cheek' and it will certainly appeal to a wide audience. We very much hope to attract young people to this concert, and will be contacting local schools with more details. Indeed, for Under-19s the tickets are FREE.

The other item is Andrew Carter's Benedicite which, despite its Latin title, is sung in English, and will include a boys' choir from Merchant Taylors' School in Crosby. Its inspiration comes from the Book of Coomon Prayer (O all ye works of the Lord, bless ye the Lord), freely adapted and with added sections for the children's choir including references to Grannies and Grandads, Butterflies and Moths, and even Badgers and Hedgehogs.
