Welcome...

 

...to King Edward's School's Music Department website! This page has become a useful place for KES musicians to listen to (and download) a recording of pieces of choral music that they are going to be singing.

 

The next main choral events in the KES Music Calendar are:

WELL DONE, KES Senior Choir for your magnificant performance at the recent Choral Evensong at Bath Abbey. Yes, Mr Hughes is VERY proud of you! And it gives us a wonderful experience to build on - perhaps going elsewhere to sing a Choral Evensong service...

All the recordings in the table above have been made so that your part plays most clearly through the RIGHT speaker. If you have pan controls (left and right mix), you can turn it further over to the right so that you hardly hear anything else except your part.

 

Happy learning, and good luck!
