Anyway... there will be music that can be ordered from Jenny, our music
librarian, at the first rehearsal of term at the cost of £3.95
If you are unfamiliar with the Motets then click the following links will point
you to the web pages where the motets can be heard;
Ave
Maria
Locis
iste
Os
justi -
Webmaster note - this version of Os Justi has an additional 30 seconds of music
that our copy doesn't (Just ignore it when you listen to it!)
Virga
Jesse
Note: All these recordings have an audio mark on the track (a click) about 30 seconds in.....this is in the recording on the site not anything nasty happening on your machine - you can ignore them.

Are you ready for a Messiah-based smirk?
One of the members brought the "Le Freres de St Francis de la
Sissies" performance of the Hallelujah Chorus to our attention. The monastic
order concerned is, of course, a silent order.
Unfortunately the original link sent (this one) is too
indistinct to see exactly whats's going on. I've since located a later
performance by the same folks, this time in the Boston Gay Mens Choir Christmas
concert in 2008 - the link to the Youtube video is here. I hope you enjoy
watching.
