Weddings and other functions
Hertfordshire Chorus often provides a suitably-sized choir to add the final touch to
weddings, anniversaries, and corporate events. Hertfordshire Chorus wedding choir
(usually around 20 singers) provides a high quality musical background for the big day.
We generally sing three hymns (selected by the couple in discussion with the minister), plus an anthem
during the signing of the register. Our extensive repertoire includes:
| Ave Verum Corpus | Mozart |
| Ave Maria | Bach/Gounod |
| Panis Angelicus | Franck |
| A Gaelic Blessing | Rutter |
| Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring | Bach |
| Locus Iste | Bruckner |
| Cantique de Jean Racine | Fauré |
| Gloria | Vivaldi |
| My Spirit Sang All Day | Finzi |
| Ubi Caritas | Duruflé |
The choice of music may depend on the organist to be used. We are happy to discuss a more extensive or ambitious programme of music or a larger number of singers.
