About Cantique |
|
Cantique, formed by Richard Potter and Bob Warren in 1997, is a group of friends drawn by a common love of music and singing, with a choral repertoire varied from light to serious, from comic to tragic, from the very ancient to very modern. A chamber choir numbering around 20, members are very experienced musicians and most also sing with other choral societies and with Church choirs. Our members have a variety of day jobs and include scientists, music graduates, teachers (including two who teach music) and even a judge. We rehearse in the Farnham area and generally (but not exclusively) perform around the Hampshire/Surrey border. |

The Tudor composer William Byrd wrote: "Since singing is so good a thing, I wish all men would learn to sing". This is Cantique’s byword; in music, enjoyment is the cardinal virtue and boredom the cardinal vice. |
