ChoirGuides Spring 2022 Update

Posted by

Six new anthems and choral songs have been added to ChoirGuides, the choral learning aid created by the team last year. Singers all over the world can use our interactive player to learn their voice parts with ease. You can highlight your voice part so that it stands out against the other parts, and sing along at home while following the music on screen. It’s like standing next to the best singer in your section!

The site also makes it easier to take part in a virtual choir recording: sing along with the accompaniment or hear your own part in your ear while you record your part. 

The six additional pieces, taking the music library to twenty one pieces altogether, are:

  • Be thou my vision (John Rutter)
  • Blow, blow, thou winter wind (John Rutter)
  • I will sing with the spirit (John Rutter)
  • Lead, kindly light (John Rutter)
  • Open thou mine eyes (John Rutter)
  • When music sounds (John Rutter)

  • A flower remembered (John Rutter)
  • A Gaelic Blessing (John Rutter)
  • All things bright and beautiful (John Rutter) 
  • Amazing Grace (arr. John Rutter)
  • Cantique de Jean Racine (Gabriel Fauré)
  • For the beauty of the Earth (John Rutter)
  • God be in my head (John Rutter)
  • Look at the world (John Rutter)
  • Look to the day (John Rutter)
  • Magical Kingdom (John Rutter)
  • Ave verum Corpus (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart)
  • The Lord bless you and keep you (John Rutter)
  • The Music’s Always There With You (John Rutter)
