Additionally there may be solos which will be auditioned with dates provided later this term or beginning of September.  Solo rehearsals are usually early on Fridays.

The repertoire is very broad and below I list the probables, but we will be doing more:

• Rutter – Candlelight Carol
• J.S Bach – Advent Kantata No.61 Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland (to be sung in German but might be in English!)
• Mark Brymer’s arrangement of ‘Frozen’ …featuring ‘that song’!
• Bruckner – Locus Iste
• Mozart – Ave verum corpus
• Gjeilo – Northern Lights, Tundra, The Ground

Possibles:

• Bob Chilcott – two pieces from ‘And Peace On Earth’
• William Byrd – Agnus Dei from his Mass for 5 voices
• Adolphe Adam – O Holy Night
• 2 traditional carols from Carols for Choirs Book 1 (the green book)
• 2 new arrangements of the Coventry Carol and O Magnum Mysterium
• I Heard the Bells on Christmas Morn

The Vicar of Dibley may put in an appearance too!

And maybe some other snippets.
