 Choral Music at
All Hallows
-
At All Hallows Church we have an
enthusiastic and growing adult choir, currently numbering 16 members, who
sing at the 9.30am Parish Eucharist every Sunday, at the monthly service of
Evensong and on other occasions during the year. We also have approximately
12 members of our ‘Augmented Choir’ who join us for Choral Evensong and
other special occasions.
-
We rehearse in church every Friday
evening (except August) from 7.15 pm to 8.45 pm - meeting in the Choir
Vestry at 7 pm for tea and biscuits ( and occasionally doughnuts!). On those
Sundays when we are singing Choral Evensong we usually rehearse from 4.30 pm
stopping at about 5.50 pm for tea before the service at 6.30 pm.
-
We are (even if we say so ourselves) a
very friendly group and we enjoy rehearsals as much as possible, while
aiming to reach the highest possible standards with our singing. We offer a
warm welcome to any new singers who would like to join us.
-
At the 9.30 Eucharist the choir usually
sing an anthem during the communion as well as leading the congregation in
the sung parts of the communion service and five (usually) traditional
hymns. For the communion service we use the traditional (1662) words for the
sung parts (Gloria, Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei), often sung to a
‘congregational ‘ setting (e.g. Martin Shaw’s ‘Anglican Folk Mass’); on
other occasions the choir sing a choral setting.

-
 The monthly service of evensong is
often a fully choral service, with an introit, anthem and choral settings of
the responses and canticles (during Advent and Lent, plainsong canticles and
psalms are used, together with ferial or plainsong responses). On certain
occasions during the year, the service of Benediction is combined with
evensong.

Sung Eucharist and Evensongs for 2006
is displayed on these pages.
We
are always keen to welcome new singers who would like to join us, either on
a regular or occasional basis. If you would like to know more, please
