Our Choir

Music notes The Holy Trinity, Bramley choir sings each Sunday during the 9.45 service. Each week the choir deliver an anthem during communion. These are sacred songs, both modern and traditional.

The choir sings in 3 parts, soprano, alto and bass currently, though we would welcome anyone wishing to sing tenor. St Catherine's School, Bramley, is affiliated to the church and the choir is augmented by St Catherine's boarders. There is no audition process and we welcome and cater for singers of any level from novice to seasoned singer.

Choir practice is at 10.45 am on a Sunday after the 9.45 am service when the anthems for the next 3 weeks are practised and we also meet before the service at 9 am to run through that week's anthem . The practices as informal and friendly and everyone is welcome.

At the major points in the liturgical year, appropriate anthems (songs) are sung, and at Christmas we augment the choir with friends and local families, the emphasis being on communal singing, culminating in the 9 lessons and Carol's service where we sing a mix of traditional congregational Carol's and choir oriented anthems. None are difficult.
