The CROOK PEAK SPECIAL CHOIR is a small chamber choir formed in 2021 after Covid lock down restrictions were relaxed.

Our primary purpose is to sing choral services throughout the Crook Peak Parish of six churches.

We hold our practices at St. Congar’s, Badgworth on Mondays from 5.00 – 6.30 pm, for six to eight weeks before a special service or event.

We sing 3-part and 4-part harmony, mostly from the liturgical repertoire and ranging from Baroque to the 20th century.

We are friendly, committed and enthusiastic about singing good music. If you can read music and want to share your joy of singing, please come along to one of our practices to meet us and give us a try.

Our repertoire includes:

‘God So Loved the World’ by Sir John Stainer

Choruses from The Messiah and ‘Zadok the Priest’ by G. F. Handel

‘Ave Verum Corpus’ by William Byrd / W. A. Mozart / Edward Elgar

‘If Ye Love Me’ by Thomas Tallis

‘O Sacred Head’ from St. Matthew Passion by J. S. Bach

‘The Mountains Shall Bring Peace by J. L’Estrange

‘The Lord is My Shepherd’ by Howard Goodall

‘Gaudete!’ from Piae Cantiones (1582) Anon.

‘Shepherd’s Pipe Carol’ by John Rutter
