Miserere Mei (Allegri)

WW1 Commemoration

My soul, there is a country (Parry)

Ave verum (Purcell Warren)

William Denis Browne was killed in action in 1915 at the age of 27.  This may be the only available recording of this motet.  It takes the form of a vocal chorale-prelude, the chorale melody being sung by the second sopranos.  Together with its largely fugal structure this makes the piece reminiscent of an earlier age, albeit with modern chromaticism.

God is our strength and song (Denis Browne)

Crossing the bar (Parry)

We ended our 2018 Christmas concert with this atmospheric piece, sung from the back of St Mary's Church, Andover.

Lux aurumque (Whitacre)

The group was formed originally in 1971 with friends getting together to sing Christmas carols to the accompaniment of an antique portable harmonium. The instrument itself has long been left behind but the group has gone from strength to strength and established itself as a successful local chamber choir.  In January 2022 the choir changed its name to Andover Chamber Choir

Often singing without accompaniment, the Harmonium Singers specialise in smaller-scale choral repertoire from the 16th century to the present day, both sacred and secular. Thoughtful sequences of words and music with a particular theme or spiritual dimension have become a feature of programmes. The group often performs for local community or charity events.
