    Click on each piece for rehearsal sites.

    Score: For Holst’s Hymn of Jesus we will be using the Stainer and Bell score, for Poulenc’s Gloria we will be using the Salabert score. Both of these are available through Amazon though in very limited quantities according to my recent viewing. These are the most generally available scores and it is strongly recommended that you use these. There are no bar numbers in either scores, it is recommended that you write them in.

    The loan scores are being hired through the national library system.

    Printed copies of the Messiaen score will be available at no additional charge.

    Tickets: £50
    Score hire: £2 per score (Holst available for purchase at £8, Poulenc available for purchase at £16, see booking form)
