Programme Details for 2010/11 Session

Our programme is planned well in advance although may be subject to alteration on the day.  See the end of this list for details of the various editions we will be using.  Music is available to borrow, although members are encouraged to purchase their own copies.

 

As an experiment, we have been adding links to recordings or videos of our programme music where this is available.  If an item is underlined you should be able to click on the entry and you will be taken to the music on the internet.  These recordings are not by our Club and no warranty is given as to copyright, or that they are remotely like the version we will be singing! Members are also recommended to ensure that their anti-virus software is up to date.  Remember that YouTube and other similar sites may include material that is not to members' tastes!  We have designed the links to bring you back to our main site when you have finished listening to the recording.

 

You can find much of this music on the Choral Public Domain Library at http://choralwiki.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page  and on 'Brian's Music Page' at http://www.xprt.net/~vox/Music/Music.html  and on YouTube at http://uk.youtube.com/

 

Please let us have comments on these recordings and whether you found them useful - and also do send us any links you have found to any of the unmarked entries to londonmotetandmadrigalclub@gmail.com
