What I really appreciate is the variety in what we sing:
- from more simple three- or four-part songs, to larger eight part works.
- from pop-songs to pieces from Musicals and whole classical Mass settings
- pieces in English, as well as Italian, Latin, Spanish, French, Hebrew, German, and Te Reo
- music by local composers, classical composers, pop stars, and crooners
We practice 730-930pm Wednesday evenings at St Barnabas Mana.
