Senior Choir

The Senior Choir meets on Tuesday and Thursday from 8.15am until 8.35am and on Wednesday from 8.15am to 9.05am. It performs at all school music occasions, as well as at many other functions.

The Senior Girls’ Choir met during lunchtimes throughout the year and, although our preparation time was limited, we managed to pull off memorable performances in the Carol; Service and Spring Concert. Led by Miss Foster, we were encouraged to sing a wide variety of pieces both accompanied and a cappella. At the Carol Service we sang a beautiful arrangement for upper voices by Jay Althouse of the popular carol ‘Silent Night’. We then prepared a challenging new composition of the ‘Bird’s Lullaby’ by the distinguished composer Sarah Quartel which we performed at the Spring Concert. On this occasion I had the opportunity to conduct, accompanied by Miss Foster on the piano. We all enjoyed singing such beautiful pieces and it is no chore to sacrifice a few lunchtimes when the outcome is a successful performance.

The Senior Gent’s Choir, composing of eight Senior School pupils, sang the well-known song ‘Hallelujah’ arranged by Roger Emerson. The choir rehearsed during available lunch times and registration coming up to the Spring Concert to learn the piece. Along with the help of Miss Foster the choir was able to run the piece on the evening of the Spring Concert as a pupil lead item, being accompanied on piano by Jack Brown 13 TG3. This lead to the members of the choir taking ownership of the Concert item and increased the enjoyment of all those involved.
