What we Sing

 

We sing an eclectic mix of songs, sung in languages spoken in Southampton (there are 400 to choose from!), Fiona’s own compositions, occasionally pop (eg A Message to You Rudi by The Specials). 

For a full list of past songs and recording samples, please see our Performance page

All these songs are arranged in several different parts, ranging from the high voices of the sopranos (all women) to the low rumble of the basses (all men).  In between there are usually two sections containing both men and women.  Mostly one section of the choir will be singing the recognisable tune, while the other sections sing harmonies.  In different songs and different parts of a given song, the tune may be given to any section of the choir.

 

Sing with us, feel better!
