Starting with a gentle body and voice warm-up and some simple rounds, we
move on to learn songs and chants in four- part harmony.
We appreciate that some people will be unfamiliar with this type of singing – or
with any type of singing! – so we help you find the part that best suits your voice, whether you sing high, middle or low.
Songs are learnt by ear, with simple hand movements as a guide – no musical
experience is needed.
After a break for refreshments, we return to sing the songs in a more contemplative atmosphere. Someone will lead each part, so no-one is on their own.

The focus of the session is singing the songs together…we become immersed in the harmonies and the words, and the “dazzling silence” that can follow offers a way into stillness, to prayer or meditation.
We sing songs from a variety of sources such as the Taize community in France, Wild Goose/Iona Community and others from the Judeo-Christian tradition.
All are welcome: all those seeking to open themselves to God, or to find or deepen their experience of God; churchgoers and non-churchgoers, Christians and non-Christians alike.
