During the past year the choir has sung masses by Byrd, Palestrina, Mozart, Haydn, Darke, and Howells, and anthems have included O Magnum Mysterium by Victoria, Christus Factus Est by Bruckner, and modern motets by Rutter, Whitacre and Arco Part. On particular Holy Days they have sung  Faure’s Requiem, Ubi Caritas by Durufle and excerpts of Handel’s Messiah. 

Saint Cecilia, after whom our choir is named, is the patron saint of music. Just as saints are those Christians particularly devoted to God, so the culture of our parish choir is to be particularly devoted to the ministry of music as a vehicle for the worship of God. The St Cecilia Singers consists of young, emerging singers of significant talent and dedication to sacred choral music. Their work at the Church of the Resurrection is vital to our liturgy, but also provides them with the opportunity to build their experience of choral music and learn about Christian worship.
