Choristers

Dear Choristers, below is an outline of information and expectations for joining us in singing Handel's Messiah.

Music -

• Choristers are not auditioned and hopefully never embarrassed (This is an inclusive choir experience.) You must be prepared to enjoy singing!!!
• Each chorister needs to bring his/her own Messiah score. The preferred score is the Prout Novello edition (but all others are still okay - you don't have to buy a new one if you already own a different edition)
• The Choir usually sings 11 to 14 choruses
• We would love choristers to be at all rehearsals but at this time of year this is not always possible. If you have problems please talk to me and we will work out a means of having you sing
• We do split into parts during several rehearsals to assist in learning parts
• There are several midi sites that can assist in learning parts. These can be found at our Resources tab

Rehearsals - November 8, 15, 22 & 29

• These are held on 4 Wednesday nights at St Swithun’s Anglican Church on the Corner of Telegraph and Merrivale Roads in Pymble. From 7:30pm to 9:30pm
