ChristChurch Transitional Cathedral CATHEDRAL CHOIR MUSIC LIST Term Four, 2016
THE CHOIR OF CHRISTCHURCH CATHEDRAL The ChristChurch Cathedral Choir has sung choral services since the Cathedral opened in 1881. The Cathedral Grammar School was established some months before the Cathedral was opened to train choristers to sing at the Cathedral services. This choral tradition has been maintained through the subsequent 130 years, maintaining this unique English choral tradition in the Southern Hemisphere. The full choir consists of twenty boys and ten men. The boys receive scholarships to attend The Cathedral Grammar School. The men of the choir are either Lay Clerks (professional singers, highly skilled in the art of Anglican choral tradition) or Godley Wakefield Scholars (college or tertiary students - talented young singers, many training for careers as professional singers). CHORAL SERVICES ARE SUNG AT THE FOLLOWING TIMES: CHORAL EVENSONG Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday at 5.30pm; Friday at 4.30pm; Sunday at 5.00pm CHORAL EUCHARIST OR SPECIAL SERVICE Sunday at 10.00am For more information visit www.christchurchcathedral.co.nz This music list is correct at time of printing but may be subject to change DEAN The Very Rev d Lawrence Kimberley PRECENTRIX Jill Kerr DIRECTOR OF MUSIC John Linker ASSISTANT ORGANIST Harry Meehan DIRECTOR OF THE CATHEDRAL SINGERS Lennox Willett CATHEDRAL ADMINISTRATOR Chris Oldham
