Music has always been highly valued by the worshipping community that makes up the people of God at All Hallows. Whether your particular talents are instrumental or vocal, there is plenty for you to take part in.
You can be sure that we would love to hear from you, and indeed, HEAR YOU, if you would like to develop and use your interest and skill in music at All Hallows.
All Hallows’ Church Choir
We have a thriving choir here at All Hallows, and sing each week, usually alternating morning and evening services. Our singers range in age from 8 to 80 plus, and we are always happy to welcome new singers.
We sing at a variety of services including Morning Worship, Holy Communion, Evensong and Compline. Our repertoire is wide and varied, featuring composers such as Tallis, Gibbons, Purcell, Mozart, Rutter and Chilcock.
As well as weekly services, we also enjoy being part of other special church events, such as the annual Carols by Candlelight service, singing Carols around the Christmas tree and performing occasional concerts. And, in the tradition of all good church choirs, we have great social events too!
Please contact us if you’d like more information about joining, or come to one of our weekly rehearsals in church on Thursdays, 7:15pm, entering via the side “Bibby” door (term time only).
All Hallows Worship Band
All Hallows Worship Band has expanded and flourished in recent years and now has a regular and highly valued place in the monthly cycle of worship. The band normally introduces and leads the worship at the 10.15am service on the second and fourth Sundays of each month as well as some baptism services and occasionally participates in other services.
Membership is open to all ages, singers and instrumentalists, who have a love of making music, together whilst worshiping God. There is no need to be able to read music but a love of singing the Lord’s songs and a readiness to learn new material is required.
Their repertoire includes many contemporary worship songs as well as traditional hymns and songs. Rehearsals are normally held on Tuesday evenings 6.45pm-8pm and there is also a monthly afternoon rehearsal followed by a time of fellowship.
Sound Engineers
The music in All Hallows and, indeed, the whole of our services, is supported by a team of sound engineers who set up microphones to mix and match the instrumental and vocal timbres and project the music around the church, producing a highly professional balance and blend of sound.
