S. Mark's Choir

 

The choir of St. Mark’s Church, in the historic Great Western Railway Parish Church of Swindon, New Town has a long Cathedral-style musical history, singing early and well-known music for the liturgy within the English choral tradition.  The masses currently in the choir's repertoire number more than 30, and range from Byrd and Palestrina, through Mozart, to Vierne and Langlais.  They also have an impressive repertoire of liturgical anthems and motets.

The choir is drawn from the Parish and from the immediate local area and include members who have regularly worked and recorded with BBC Symphony Chorus, the Royal School of Church Music (RSCM) and the Cathedral Singers of Christ Church, Oxford. They rehearse weekly and sing at the Parish Mass on Sunday mornings, in addition to monthly evensongs and other important days in the church's year.  The choir have recorded a CD, with profits from the sale donated to the Mapanza Mattress Project.
