Our repertoire is all original, written by choir members and has emerged as a new tribal choral tradition that honors death as a natural, expected, sometimes very inspiring event in a life. While we don't require auditions, our welcome process is rigorous. This kind of singing is Spiritual work and is deeply rewarding for those who are called to it.

This masterpiece was skilfully created and crafted by Ennio Morricone and sympathetically arranged by Darren Bartlett to appeal to every nation across the Globe, regardless of language. THere are no lyrics as such, instead the vocalists sing syllables and sounds so as not to distract the listener away from the inspiring melody and the beauty of the only instruments featured; the human voice. Superbly executed by Vocal Ensemble, Muzaria. Strong soloists, soaring descants and solid harmonies from the 11 singers. Filmed at Guildford Cathedral. Audio recording Mixed and Engineered by Alvin Allison. Filming & Video Production by Kingsbere Designs. #Muzaria #GabrielsOboe #GuildfordCathedral www.darrenbartlett.co.uk Copyright DMB MUSIC 2000-2019 www.muzaria.com  less
