Welcome to the Saint Mary choir blog.

The church has both an adult and junior choir. We are affiliated to the Royal School of Church Music(RSCM). The junior choir are provided with tuition to enable them to gain their RSCM medals.

The senior choir is a SATB choir with its main responsibility to sing at the 10am Sunday service, including an anthem. See below for more details.

Our choirs do not require any fees to belong to them. New members to both the senior and junior choir are always welcome, whatever their standard. If you are interested in joining us please contact our Director of Music (Joanna) via the  Contact Us page.

Sunday 17th April 2022 Easter Day

On Easter Morn Ere Break Of Day   Sung by the Greek Church at Lauds on Easter Day  Melody: The Bashful Lover

This is a jolly tune, being almost a hornpipe so goes along at a fair pace. But the words are from the Greek Church, traditionally sung at Easter. It describes the three Marys arriving at Christ's tomb and finding him gone. But this is a tremendous thing as the Bible foretold Christ's ressurection for the good of all mankind.

The music was set to a poem by Robert Burns On a bank of flowers ae simmer day.
