It will only perform secular choral masterworks; no sacred music will ever be programmed. The repertoire will include works from ancient to modern times. The Boston musical scene is all but devoid of this type of programming, let alone this being the case on a regional or even a national level. The goal is for the chorus to start small, sixteen or more excellent singers, but to think large. The eventual goal is for the chorus to have enough members to perform large ensemble secular masterworks with area orchestras. However, if its fate is to remain a smaller, more select group of singers, then that would be an equally good outCome; so much good and often neglected music exists for such ensembles. Hybrid performances will be the norm. Choral music concerts will eventually include both conventional concert presentations and ones which will include interdisciplinary efforts. less

‘Devon, O Devon, in Wind and Rain’ celebrates Drake and the bravery of Devon men attempting to relieve Ladysmith. The Devonshires’ defense took place in a violent thunderstorm, when Rain and hail fell in sheets to impede visibility. The line ‘Fetter and Faint for England’s neck, Faggot and Father, Saint and chain’ graphically talks about what would have happened if the faggot (a bundle of sticks) had burned the English because the Spanish thought of them as heretics.

Ear TRaining - from the Directors viewpoint
(adapted from a post in The Stairwell Carollers Choir Blog) David Rain, tenor: How on earth do you hear everyone, including our mistakes, while singing along at full throttle?
Pierre: I'm not sure, but you're definitely right...
