Do you love to sing? Join us to rehearse and present a colourful choral offering in the unique environment and acoustic of the Sheldon Open Air Theatre. Application form

Participants last year told us you would like more information in advance about the repertoire, and less experienced singers would like more help with learning the music. So,

  • The main items on the programme are listed below, including a listening link for most
  • You will be able to borrow the music for a couple of weeks before the event
  • Learning tapes will be available for each voice from a couple of weeks before the event
  • There will be an optional morning rehearsal before the main afternoon rehearsal
Cantique de Jean Racine listen Faure
The Heavens are Telling (from Creation)` listen Haydn

Panis Angelicus. listen
This recording is for 2 boy sopranos. We shall sing at a lower pitch with the sopranos singing the first verse and altos joining them in the lower part for the second verse.

Franck
Humming Chorus (from Madame Butterfly) listen Puccini
Hallelujah Chorus (from The Messiah) listen Handel

Medley from Les Miserables
~ I dreamed a dream listen
~ Do you hear the people sing listen
~ Bring him home listen
~ Finale listen
This recording is not identical to the medley but gives a good idea how the songs will sound.

 Schonberg arr Lojeski

Alleluia (from Exultate Jubilate)
We will sing an adapted SATB version

 Mozart

The second half will include classic "Last Night" repertoire that needs no introduction, including
~ Land of Hope and Glory
