Introduction
The Royal School of Church Music Young Voices Festival is an opportunity for young people from schools and churches to join together in song in fabulous venues across the UK. It offers an inspiring musical and spiritual experience for all participants, and a chance to develop vocal and musical skills under expert musical direction.
The festival is a Voice for Life outreach event. The Voice for Life scheme is one of the RSCM’s core educational programmes, which exists to encourage, support and promote singing in schools, churches and the wider community.
This book and CD-ROM contain everything you and your singers need to participate in the service.
The book contains:
The conductor’s score. This contains the entire service, including readings, prayers and full music scores. This part of the book may not be photocopied.
The singers’ music. You may photocopy these pages to give to your singers.
The singers’ music is also available on the CD-ROM so you can print this out as a booklet from your computer.
The CD-ROM contains resources that you can print from your computer, and includes:
• The readings• The singers’ music booklet• The order of service which you can print off for the congregation• Training notes for all the anthems
If you are using We Will Remember Them locally, please feel free to treat the service flexibly and incorporate your own creative ideas. You may also like to use individual items in your services, concert programmes or assemblies.
Guidance on how to arrange your own Young Voices Festival can be found on the RSCM website at: www.rscm.com/education/youngvoicesfestival.php
We hope you enjoy We Will Remember Them.
