These pages are for choir members and provide rehearsal schedules, the
constitution and other useful items of information. The current tea
rota and raffle rota can be downloaded from here as PDF files.
Your Skills We would like to collect a list of the skills of the choir members, beyond a beautiful singing voice. You could help this by downloading the Word document and emailing it to Peter Steven.
Last August, a member of the choir kindly hosted a very successful party for choir members and their family and friends. The weather was relatively good, in the context of the days that preceded it, so no one got soaked, but planned party games in the garden will have to wait for this summer. Photos now appear in the Picture Gallery.
In the Helensburgh and Lomond Community Spirit Awards 2010, the Choir was awarded a finalist's certificate under the Lifetime Achievement Award, reflecting the choir’s ongoing contribution to the civic life of the area. Walter Smith presented the awards at a ceremony in the Victoria Halls on Monday 26 April 2010 and Sarah Scott, as chairman, accepted the certificate on behalf of the choir. A photo of the certificate appears in the Picture Gallery.
A poster will be produced for the concert on 31 October. You will be able to download it here in PDF format. Tickets will be issued to choir members in September.
Background information about the concert in October will be made available in due course through an Advance Information leaflet which will be downloadable here, as a WORD document which will print A4 size.If you would like to "listen again" to the first work in our recent concert, the Nelson Mass, there is a free, legally available recording on a website called we7.com. You do not need a player - the links below will stream the music to a PC. The only downside is that you have to put up with adverts between each track.
Here is the link to listen: Haydn : Nelson Mass Links to the music for the October concert will be added when the concert programme is finalised.If you are interested in using Cyberbass to learn a part, the individual parts for the Faure Requiem are available.
The Requiem is classed as a major work and has a direct link: Faure Requiem.Having found the work you are looking for - using these links (or the one below to the main Cyberbass index) - you should find all the parts shown. "Click" the part to which you wish to listen on-line. You can also choose all the vocal parts - "Tutti". There is a facility to vary the tempo up or down (see Player Controls-Speed) - in accordance with the Music Director's current whim. Unfortunately the facility to download a Midi (MP3) file and play this on an "i-Pod" has been withdrawn.
