1 Michaelmas Term 2017 Music in Abbey and Chapel Services Sherborne School

2 School Services School services in the Abbey on Wednesdays and Sundays are attended by the whole school, whose hymn singing is a source of great pride. During Morning Worship, Evening Prayer and Compline the music is led by the Choir, which currently comprises ninety-eight singers, whilst a smaller Chamber Choir performs the music that is listed in bold type. Choral music at Sherborne is part of a strong and long tradition of excellence which benefits from the school s very privileged use of the Abbey in weekly worship. Our music is not an end in itself but part of a larger whole. We hope that in the singing and in the silence, and in the beauty of this House of God, you will feel that greater presence.
