ARUNDEL Cathedral will ring to the sound of some of the best-loved music of our time at The Angmering Chorale's summer concert Sing Britannia on Saturday (June 27), the final fixture in the chorale's busy year.
Chorale spokeswoman Sheila Thomas said: "Sing Britannia will begin with Tom Griffiths, Arun Young Musician of 2008, with his trumpet solo. Tom is 17, a student at Steyning Grammar School and part-time student at the Guildhall School of Music.

"The first half of the concert will include such favourites as Ave Maria (Bach-Gounod), How Lovely are Thy Dwellings (Brahms), two settings of Ave Verum (Elgar and Mozart) and the haunting Cantique de Jean Racine (Faure)."

"The second half will consist of music usually heard at The Last Night of the Proms. This glorious selection will feature Sir Edward Elgar's Land of Hope and Glory, Sir Hubert Parry's Jerusalem and I was Glad as well as Fantasia on British Sea Songs and four traditional songs from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales in the style of Proms in the Park.

It will, of course, end in a finale of Auld Lang Syne and there will be audience participation in the great tradition of the Proms.

"On this occasion soloists and musicians will be drawn from the ranks of the choir and the concert will be conducted by musical director George Jones with the Chorale's resident accompanist Alison Manton at the piano."

Tickets for Sing Britannia at Arundel Cathedral, priced at £10 (unreserved), are available from Jan Wood (01243 554501), Holmes and Co Angmering, Ronald Edwards, Rustington, and any member of the chorale. More details on www.theangmeringchorale.org.uk
