We uphold the tradition and art of male choral singing through the camaraderie of choral membership and in entertaining our audiences. We give our own concerts several times a year in Norwich and beyond, as well as appear at events by invitation.

Our concert items feature traditional male voice choir standards, well-known ballads, sacred, secular and ...    less

Er erlöset meine Seele von denen, die an mich wollen, und schaffet mir Ruhe; denn ihrer ist viel wider mich. Gott wird hören und sie demütigen, der allweg bleibet. Sela Sela Sela. In the evening, morning and midday I shall lament and cry So he will hear my voice He releases my soul from those who are against me and gives me peace for there are many of them against me God will hear and will humble them He who reigns forever.

For mine eyes have seen: thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared: before the face of all people; To be a light to lighten the Gentiles: and to be the glory of thy people Israel. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen. the Book of Common Prayer, 1662 ORIGINAL TEXT Nunc dimittis servum tuum, Domine, secundum verbum tuum in pace: Quia viderunt oculi mei salutare tuum Quod parasti ante faciem omnium populorum: Lumen ad revelationem gentium, et gloriam plebis tuae Israel.
