Scores
Vocal scores of the music to be sung are acquired by the Society’s librarian. The hire charge is included in the memebership fee. It is normally preferred for you to use a hired score to ensure we are all singing from the same edition and page number agree. If you have one of your own, you will need to check with the librarian which edition we will be using.
Hired scores are collected immediately after the conclusion of the performance. As we enclose our music in folders for a concert performance, you are asked to remove music from the folders, and hand the folders in separately.
Deciding What We Sing
Members may make suggestions for future programmes to the Chairman or the Musical Director during the course of the year. The Musical Director and the committee decide what will be sung in the coming year’s programme, and this is announced at the AGM. Members should be aware when requesting items that only a small-to-medium sized orchestra can fit into our usual concert venue and that works needing large numbers of solo singers are also unlikely to be chosen for reasons of cost.
