We are pleased to welcome you to Sheffield Cathedral. We hope that you feel at home in this community of Christians who worship at the heart of the Church of England Diocese of Sheffield. This Cathedral is a community gathered round Christ in prayer, committed to practical caring and living well with God. Its doors are open every day, and our work and worship continue through the year. It is a place for all people and you are very welcome. About music in the Cathedral Choral music forms a central part of and pivotal role in the worship at Sheffield Cathedral, with the choir of boys, girls, and adults singing regular services, as well as performing for a wide variety of special occasions in the Cathedral and beyond, including services, concerts and radio broadcasts. In addition to providing rich and plentiful music for the Cathedral s liturgy, membership of the choir offers an unparalleled experience and education for the young people involved. The music department always welcome enquiries about joining the Cathedral Choir please email musicians@sheffield-cathedral.org.uk This month, the Cathedral Choirs can be heard singing a range of Lenten music, including powerful and expressive large-scale works by Victoria and Tallis at the atmospheric Tenebrae service on Sunday 9 April. The girl choristers can be heard in alternatim with the organ on 5 April, and Byrd s sublime and impassioned setting of the Salve Regina can be heard sung by the Lay Clerks and Choral Scholars. A particular highlight is the orchestral mass celebrated on Easter Day, this year featuring Joseph Haydn s sparkling yet heartfelt Missa Sancti Nicolai, composed for the Esterházy court in the 1770s. Organ music during this period showcases two multi-movement works, J.S. Bach s Toccata, Adagio and Fugue in C major, and Maurice Duruflé s evocative Suite, Op. 5.
