In addition to leading the hymns, we provide an anthem
each week, drawing from a wide-ranging repertoire of music, ranging
from earlier music such as that of Tallis and Farrant, through some
favourites such as Mozart's Ave Verum, to more recent composers
such as John Rutter and David Halls. The majority of our anthem
repertoire is 4-part (SATB), and the hymns will also be sung in
4-part harmony where possible.
Currently, the choir numbers about a dozen people, but
we would warmly welcome additional singers. Our practice time is
Friday evening (7.45pm - 9.15pm), with an additional warm-up on
Sunday morning at 10am, ready for the service at 11am.
The choir also provide the music for the "traditional"
carol service in December each year, which contains a selection
of traditional carols along with some seasonal choral items.
Joining the Choir:
If you, or your children are interested in joining the
choir, then please speak to a choir member on Sunday morning, or
speak to our Choirmaster, Brian, either in person or by email: organist@stpetersfarnborough.org.uk.
We also maintain a list of additional singers who can help out for
weddings, should a choir be requested. If you would like to be considered
for this list, please contact the Choirmaster as above.
