Exsultate Justi
St Peter & St Paul, Church Hanborough
Welcome
Exsultate Justi is a small, occasional choir of experienced singers. We share a passion for sacred choral music in the best of the Anglican tradition.
The choir is attached to the Benefice of Hanborough and Freeland, between Oxford and Witney. The benefice includes the parishes of Hanborough and Freeland.
We currently sing four times a year: for choral evensong in February/March, June, and October, and at the Benefice carol service in December. Our recent repertoire has included:
