In January and February we continue to grow as a choir and enjoy making music together using this selection.
We will also start to look at a new Folk Mass by Drew Cantrill-Fenwick, commissioned for St George's Day.
To enable the choir to get used to singing together, we started by learning some of the local Christmas carols from the north of Sheffield.
These are taken from The Blue Book (featured on the BBC Boxing Day 2025 episode of The Repair Shop) published by Worrall Male Voice Choir Musical Grants Foundation. The fourth edition is available for purchase from the Choir Director for £15. All money raised from sales goes to support young musicians through the annual grant scheme.
We also learnt an arrangement, made especially for the choir, of the Carol of the Bells.
