The Choir at St Barnabas now consists of 10 choristers, and we are in urgent need to recruit more members (particularly youngsters) to maintain a choir for St Barnabas for the future.
We attend two Sunday services per week (Parish Communion and Evensong) and occasional weekday services as required. There are also weddings where we are requested to sing. Every month we sing a Festal Evensong to stimulate interest for our members. This normally consists of a setting to the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis, and also an Anthem.
Evensong has been sung weekly in our Church since its consecration, and the Choir have maintained the tradition ourselves, and are disappointed when the numbers of the congregation is very small. (One of our previous incumbents used to remark – “We will sing to the angels”) There are occasional choral events such as those sponsored by the Royal School of Church Music to which we attend if within reasonable distance of Linslade.
Choir Practice is normally held on Friday evenings at 7pm for one hour. Anyone who wishes to join our Choir should contact Tony Edwards our Organist/Choirmaster.
