Musically, the choir has something for everyone with a repertoir stretching
from the seventeenth century of Purcell and Handel through to Andrew
Lloyd-Webber of the present day, and not forgetting the special choral
works by Edmund Walters, the arrangements by Alan Simmons, Mike Sammes
to mention but a few. British music is well represented with the much
loved music of Hugh Roberton, Edward Elgar, Vaughan Williams and not
forgettingthe welsh influence by Joseph Parry, Mansell Thomas, Ieuan
Rees-Davies and the poetry of Dylan Thomas.
The classical period of Mozart, Schubert, Verdi, Dvorak, Wagner and
many others forms an important part of the choir's collection, as do
the favourite works of manynations; thedynamic Russian music of Alexandrov,
the ever popular 'Comrades in Arms' from french composer Adolphe Adams'
ballet "Giselle"as well as traditional American folk songs
and the modern music ofRodgers and Hammerstein or Simon and Garfunkel.
So whether you wish to hear from musical comedy to grand opera or from
Gilbert and Sullivan to Lennon and McCartney and Queen, your tastes
will be satisfied.
Although the choir has moved with the times in its music selection its
Music committee has also kept faithful to the choir's tradition and
heritage by including a selection of traditional and challenging male
voice choir music in its conccrt programmes. This also helps to keep
in line with the choir's prescribed cultural objects in its constitution.
