Programme

Become a member of The Barnby Choir

A Little Jazz Mass by Bob ChilcottThis year the Barnby Choir is delighted to have the opportunity to offer a modern take on the Latin Missa Brevis by Bob Chilcott, who has been described by The Observer newspaper as “a contemporary hero of British choral music”.

The various movements embrace a variety of jazz styles including Swing in the Gloria and inspirational Blues in the Agnus Dei. There are plenty of stylish jazz-crunch chords for singers to explore.

The piano accompanist will be joined by a bassist and percussionist in the afternoon which will greatly enhance the whole jazz experience.

There will be an informal performance of the work at 4.00pm to which family and friends are invited, followed by tea and cake.

If you enjoy singing, why not come and join us? We extend a warm welcome to enthusiastic singers who want to sing to a high standard and have lots of friendly company with the opportunity to contribute to quality music-making. (There is an annual membership fee.) If you are interested in joining us, please contact the Choir Secretary on 0161 485 1659.
