It is made up of boys, girls, women and men from all walks of life and with many levels of musical expertise and experience, who give of their time and talent on an entirely voluntary basis to sing to a professional standard. Membership of the Choir currently stands at around thirty-five adults and sixteen to twenty children. The Choir’s principal function is to provide the music and help lead the worship at the Cathedral’s two main services every Sunday: Sung Eucharist at 10.30 am and Choral Evensong at 6.30 pm. Services are preceded by a rehearsal, and there is a rehearsal once a week, currently on Thursday evenings. In addition to these important duties, the Choir also sings for regular special services, occasional concerts, broadcasts regularly on BBC Radio, has appeared on TV, and every year they sing in one of the great British Cathedrals for a weekend, or sometimes a week. St Mary’s Cathedral Choir performs a very wide range of music, ...    less

The memories of the wonderful and exciting years, the great musical and personal experiences gained while singing in the children’s Choir motivated a group of former members to reunite and to found a female vocal ensemble – in January 2004, students, mothers and young professionals come together to sing for the first time as “Cantilena”. Prof. Elisabeth Ziegler, conductor of the “Gumpoldskirchner Spatzen”, was entrusted to be the artistic director of the new women’s Choir. She was tempted by the possibility to go beyond the limits given by the repertoire of a children’s Choir and to discover new choral literature with the now adult singers. From the very first moment of the foundation of “Cantilena” until today, Elisabeth Ziegler guides and supports the plans of the enthusiastic young women by sharing her extensive musical expertise. It was her lifelong passion for choral music that was planted into the singers’ hearts back in ...    less

Hur själen än har tröttnat, du ständigt dock, o hav, i härlighet är nytt.\ Hur månget hjärta glömt vid denna djupa syn, hur mången själ har stillnat! O mänsklighetens ädle, tankens och sångens väldige, ha mättat sina själar; O heliga, av dina brus som sjunga i morgonbrus ur Tebes Pindaros, och mörkna med Psaltaren till väldigt aftonbrus! ~Vilhelm Ekelund Translation: O refuge, safe and calm! How my soul is already tired, yet you are constant, o sea, in your glory anew. How many hearts have forgotten in the presence of your depths, how many souls have quieted! O humankind's most noble one, mightiest one of thought and song, who has filled our souls, O holy one, they sing of your swells from the morning waves of Pindar's Thebes, and grow darker through the Psalms to the mighty surges of evening...    less
