Music

Save the Sound - Savour the Sound

One of the joys of making music in modern times is the ability to record the sound in clear, crisp detail - then laser-burn it onto a little silver disc, and share the moment with future generations.

Our organ and choir are special every Sunday, but twice a year (Good Friday and Advent) they are augmented by an orchestra. Our music library includes the following:
