(“Do not ask me to leave you, or to stop following you; for where ever you go, I will go, and where you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God my God.”) the soprano joins the choir for the twice-repeated middle section of the piece. the music here is contrastingly homophonic and intense. (“Where you die, I will die and be buried.”) the tune and harmonies are borrowed from a passage in my piece Selections from “the Song of Songs” for male voice and band.

We perform four concerts each year across three terms running from September to July. Our programme varies from stunning major choral works to satisfying chamber music programmes and the occasional light programme of popular numbers! Singers are drawn not only from Fleet and the surrounding area, but also outlying towns including Guildford and Basingstoke. Choir membership is currently around 50 Voices, many of whom have sung with the choir for several years. the combined experience and enthusiasm enables us to explore new musical horizons - both in repertoire and venue.

Soloists are drawn from the choir, although for more complex works we often invite professional singers to participate. Fancy joining? Although we don’t have a formal auditio...    less
