We rehearse Monday evenings from 7:30 to 9:30. This is an auditioned group with considerable musical and choral experience, one that aspires to a higher standard of performance. Our members include amateur and professional musicians, Choir directors and music educators. Prospective members may audition from time to time as positions come open. Contact The Choir if you have an interest in joining.
We perform mostly a cappella pieces, but many of our Concerts include accompaniment by members of The Nanaimo Chamber Orchestra and organ. less

Ave Verum Corpus
William Byrd (1540-1623)
Renaissance Motet
An English composer of The Renaissance period, William Byrd was a student of Thomas Tallis and wrote many works both sacred and secular in The common forms in England at The time. Byrd's Ave Verum Corpus appeared in his Gradualia, two volumes of liturgical polyphony published in 1605 and 1607. Primarily devoted to use within The major feasts of The church calendar, some of The included items in The 1605 volume do not belong to The main sphere of works. The Ave Verum Corpus is one of These. It is a popular work of Byrd's, utilising The well-known Latin text of The Eucharistic hymn.
