Music

_Mass

_{There are three different  mass settings, or Rites, that we use here at Perry Street, each setting is used for a certain section of the liturgical year. All three Rites consist of a sung Kyrie, Gloria, Psalm, Gospel Acclamation, Sursum Corda, Sanctus and Benedictus, Threefold Amen (Rite C), Eucharistic Acclamation and Agnus Dei. All of which is lead by the Choir.}

_{Rite A, we use a version of the 'Peoples Mass' which has been rearranged for us by Norman Warren. This setting is used during Ordinary Time.}

_{Rite B, the Saint Thomas Mass setting, is used during Lent and Advent.}

_{Rite C, the Gathering Mass setting, is used for all festivals and feast days such as Midnight Mass, Christmas Day and Easter Day.}

_{As well as singing various Mass Settings we also sing a variety of traditional and modern hymns from the Hymns Old & New, New Anglican Edition' hymn book.}

_Concerts

_{As a choir we aslo stage various choral concerts and musical events through out the year as a part of our parish fellowship as well as funding raising for the church.}

 _{Every year we hold a Carol Concert, which is said to be the high-light of the choir's year, drawing in a large audience at Christmas time.In the Carol Concerts a variety of choral works are performed, ranging from traditional carols through to 20/21century pieces, all of which are exciting and dynamic.}  

_{Other events we've staged have been 'Sing-a-longs', where the audience join in the singing of secular songs  from the 1930s right through to present day musicals.}
