Welcome to
Brenchley Choral Society

.

Whilst hearing the choir of King’s College Cambridge was certainly an inspiration to John Rutter it was the Chapel’s Director, Sir David Willcox, who took him under his wing whilst studying music at Clare College.

 

Who has encountered a carol service or concert and not heard a single beautiful carol taken from the 6 editions of the Carols for Choirs series of scores co-edited by David Willcox and John Rutter?

 

The Requiem is regarded as Rutter’s greatest contribution to the world of more serious choral music. It is considered his most beautiful and exquisite composition and in his words: ‘intimate rather than grandiose, contemplative rather than dramatic, approachable. For me it stands as a clear sign of humanity’s quest for solace and light amidst the darkness and trouble of our modern age – a message of hope.’

 

An unmissable concert!
