Music includes congregational singing of hymns, and mass settings and anthems sung by the choir. The robed choir, made up of children and adults, leads worship on Sunday mornings during the 10am service and as part of Choral Evensong on Sundays at 6pm, and also at festival services throughout the year.<\/p>\n
The choir sings music from the Anglican tradition as well as other European music and spirituals. Repertoire includes music by Byrd, Tallis, Palestrina, Purcell, Mozart, Wesley, Stanford, Howells, Durufl\u00e9 and contemporary composers \u2013 including members of the choir.
