Choral tradition
All Saints has a four-part robed choir comprising of adults, young people, boys and girls who sing at the main Services each week. It is affiliated to the Royal School of Church Music (RSCM). Choristers are trained using this scheme and a large proportion have gained Deans’ and Bishops’ Awards at Guildford Cathedral.
The PCC encourages this choral tradition and generously fund the work of the choir. Organ Scholarships are also available for promising musicians.
Choral Evensong
This lovely traditional service, using the Book of Common Prayer, is held on the 3rd Sunday of each month except August, December and January, when Carol Services – with choir highlights – take over.
It is becoming a tradition to have a special piece of music on a Sunday in Lent and in 2020 on Palm Sunday (5th April) at 6.30pm the choir had planned to sing Stainer’s Crucifixion. Sadly, this is not now possible but we hope to present Allegri’s Miserere when things return to normal.
