Bach's Mass in B Minor has been called the 'greatest musical artwork of all times and peoples', and is also very difficult to sing! We're performing it with the Consort of 12, Sunday 7 July, 6 pm, St Paul's, Chichester. Book through our brand-new website: https://t.co/P5ddUlOqpx

We have a new President! Ian Schofield is a previous conductor of the choir and has been a good friend to us ever since, reviewing many of our concerts. He is well known as a composer, lecturer and music editor, and we look forward to singing two works by him later this year.

LIGHT's a major theme in our concert at All Sts Portsmouth, 23 March. Lauridsen's evocative 'Lux Aeterna' has references to light from various Latin texts; Mondonville's 'De profundis clamavi' ends with a magnificent fugue on the words 'Et lux perpetua luceat eis'. Book tickets!

Exciting yesterday to perform a Mozart Mass (Missa Brevis in F major) in a liturgical rather than a concert setting, at the Patronal Festival service for St Agatha's, Portsmouth, with strings and trumpets. Full steam ahead now for our next concert,All Saints Portsmouth, 23 March.

Bach's B minor Mass is a huge work! The setting of the Nicene Creed alone has nine separate movements; it opens with a five-part fugue based on the traditional plainchant, as shown here in Bach's surviving manuscript. Come and hear it on Sunday 7 July, 6 p.m. at St Paul's, Chichester. Note the early start time! ... See MoreSee Less
