There’s a good range of musical styles for our visit to Norwich. Chris Pilgrim and Alex Berry will share the duties of playing the organ and directing the choir between them during the week.
We will sing the same responses each day by Humphrey Clucas and the canticles will be by a variety of composers from different periods. Music includes settings by William Byrd, Palestrina, Arvo Pȁrt, S.S Wesley as well as more recent composers including Alexander Berry, and Cecilia McDowell.
