Meanwood Holy Trinity
Parish Church has a robed four-part choir.
The New English Hymnal and our own Book of modern hymns
and worship songs are used in services.
The choir is familiar with six
different settings of the Eucharist, as follows: Appleford, New English
Mass; Aston, The Order for Holy Communion; How, Music for the Parish
Communion; Rathbone, Marlborough Mass; Rutter, Communion Service;
Shephard, The Addington Service. Many anthems and carols are often
sung, ranging from the sixteenth century to present day.
Several members of the
choir sing and act with various amateur societies and choirs - for
example, Leeds Gilbert & Sullivan Society, LIDOS (Leeds Insurance
Dramatic and Operatic Society), Leeds Children's Theatre, Leeds
Festival Chorus, St Peter's Singers and Huddersfield Choral Society.
Several of our choristers are instrumentalists.
The church choir was
affiliated to the Royal School of Church Music (RSCM) on 24 August
1940.
Choir practice
is on Fridays, during term-time, from 7:00 pm for junior and
probationer choristers, then 7:30 to 8:30 pm for full Choir.
