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