THE CALLINGTON SINGERS

         

OUR REPERTOIRE

The Callington Singers have a wide and varied repertoire, encompassing both small and large scale works.  This is supplemented, as appropriate, with festive songs and carols at Christmas and with various settings of psalms and canticles when we are singing in cathedrals.  A partial listing of works we have performed is given below.  But, before looking at that, why not take the time to listen to a few of our performances?  Links to .mp3 files are given in the first table.  It may take a short while for the files to be downloaded but we are worth waiting for!
