Reincarnations: Cor Flammae's debut concert with Queer Arts Festival | July 24th, 2014
Across the darkened city the frosty searchlights creep,
Alert for the first marauder, to steal upon our sleep.
We see the sudden headlines float on the muttering tide.
We hear them warn and threaten and wonder what they hide.
There are whispers across tables, talks in a shutter’d room.
The price on which they bargain will be a people’s doom.
There’s a roar of war in the factories and idle hands on the street
and Europe held in nightmare by the thud of marching feet.

Is there no strength to save us? No power we can trust.
Before our lives and liberties Are powder’d into dust.
Time to arise Democracy, time to rise up and cry,
That what our fathers fought for We’ll not allow to die.
Time to resolve divisions, time to renew our pride,
Time to decide, time to ... ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

The school's choir became very successful in the mid-1980s, winning many competitions including the Llangollen Eisteddfod. When school was over, it seemed natural to carry on singing together as a choir, and the group's achievements included reaching the semi-finals of Sainsbury's Choir of the Year and appearing on Opportunity Knocks.
in the 1990's, the choir moved to Harrow and officially became known as Jubilate. Sarah Stroh took over as Musical Director in 1999 and since then the choir has grown significantly, doubling in size to its current membership of 43. There are still some original members of the choir, who have been singing together for more than 25 years.
Our recent competition successes include winning the Barnardo's National Choir competition in March 2013 and the ladies choir, folk and popular music classes and runner-up with distinction in the sacred music class in the 2012 Mid-Somerset Festival.
