Choir

Membership of All Saints Church Choir is open to all. There are currently eighteen members. We would be delighted to welcome new members, especially more children and gentlemen. There are no formal auditions; just come along and join in.

Choir practices are held in the church vestry on Thursdays from 7.30pm to 9pm. We also rehearse 45 minutes before each service. Our regular commitment is to sing at the 10.30am Sunday Communion service (apart from All Saints Together services on the first Sunday of the month). We prepare the hymns, a psalm and an anthem. We also sing Choral Evensongs, generally on the second Sunday of the month at 6.15pm, for which we prepare a full choral setting of the canticles. Other sung services include Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Ascension Day, Corpus Christi and Remembrance Day, plus of course the popular Christmas Carol Service and any weddings. The choir also presents a Lent Concert each year with a charitable collection.

Children can earn pocket money for each service and rehearsal on a sliding scale according to experience and attendance, paid quarterly.

The choir is affiliated to the Royal School of Church Music. The RSCM motto is “psallam spiritum et mente”, meaning “I will sing with the spirit and the understanding also”. This is very much what we aim to achieve at All Saints. Young choristers have attended many RSCM courses and worked for their RSCM bronze, silver and gold awards. Some have sung with the RSCM Southern Cathedral Singers and have been invited to cathedral courses at Canterbury, York and Salisbury.

Locally, the choir occasionally sings with All Souls South Ascot,  Holy Trinity Sunningdale and St Andrew’s Priestwood. Several are also members of the Sunningdale Savoy Chorus. We have regularly joined forces with St Giles Ickenham to sing services at cathedrals (last year at Norwich and Portsmouth). We sing carols with St Giles choir under the Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square each year. The last event before the summer break is usually a meal out together, followed by bowling.

Our organist and choirmaster is Chris Goodwin, MA(Cantab), ARCM, LRAM, ARCO (CHM)..

It is a place for young people to learn to sing and begin to explore our rich musical traditions.
