Risk assessment

The risk assessment relating to the pandemic may appear out of date in present circumstances. But we don’t wish to tempt fate by removing it!

Choir members, please read the risk assessment before attending choir. Your committee wish to ensure your safety and wellbeing during the current pandemic. The risk assessment will be amended if circumstances change. Click here to read the risk assessment.

Practice files for the Haydn and Mozart are available on the John Fletcher Music website. You may have to register with an email and password, but you shouldn't need to take out a 'paid' subscription. Here are the links:

HAYDN: https://johnfletchermusic.org/stabat-mater-haydnj

MOZART: https://johnfletchermusic.org/litaniae-lauretanae-mozartwa-k195

There are several files for each movement. Look for your voice part in the file name. Files ending in '.mp3' are the ones people are most likely to be able to play.
