An extensive repertoire of music has been performed during the life of the choir. Our programmes traditionally follow an annual pattern of great choral works interspersed with lighter pieces at the Winter and Summer concerts. Top of the popularity list is the Messiah (of course!) which has been sung 8 times. The beautiful requiems of Verdi and Mozart are close runners up, having been sung 6 times each. However, it is the works of Handel that have been performed most frequently; on no less than 26 occasions. If anyone can help us fill in the gaps from the earlier years, we would be delighted to hear from you. |
