Story

We would be ever so grateful if you could support ‘The British Legion’ poppy appeal by donating to this collection.

Classical Chorus are an adult community choir based in Hertfordshire, UK. And despite Covid-19, they have continued their love of singing together by rehearsing virtually. This winter they had plans to travel to Belgium to sing at the Menin Gate Last Post ceremony. As plans were postponed, they decided to record their performance instead....

Socially distanced and wearing masks, they recorded in small groups to produce the harmonies for this beautiful arrangement by Roger Emerson. The tracks from each group were then edited to bring all their voices together.

Singers have also chosen photos of themselves, family members and local places by way of tribute to the 2020 virtual field of remembrance.

Classical Chorus look forward to one day reuniting as a whole choir and embarking on their tour.

Thank you for listening and thank you for your donations. ‘Lest we forget.’
