Choirs
All our singers are first class professional musicians who sing with country's top cathedral choirs and chamber ensembles.
Our singers are ultra-reliable, and are sensitive, discreet and immaculately presented too. They arrive in plenty of time and sing beautifully, leaving you free to concentrate on yourself and your family.
A choir's primary function is to give the congregation a strong lead in the singing of the hymns. It can also sing at the start and finish of the service. Some families like the choir to sing an anthem or psalm during the course of the service.
Choirs are booked in multiples of four singers (soprano, alto, tenor, bass). The number of singers in the choir will depend on the congregation expected - we recommend four singers per fifty members of the congregation, up to a maximum of twelve singers for very large funerals: eight singers will normally suffice.
Here are two excerpts from JS Bach's beautiful Jesu, joy of man's desiring to illustrate the difference in sound made by a choir of four singers and a choir of eight:
* Four singers
* Eight singers
