The new group of Choral Scholars of St Martin-in-the-Fields sang for the first time at St Stephen Walbrook last Monday in the first of our new series of Discover & explore services. They sang 'May the grace of Christ our Saviour' – Caesar, 'I know that my redeemer liveth' – Jeffrey-Gray, How lovely are the messengers from ‘St Paul’ – Mendelssohn and Amen from ‘Lo, the full final sacrifice’ – Finzi.
The theme for this series of Discover & explore services is 'Rome, London & Christianity'. The series features as part of the 'Londinium' season organised by the City of London. At this opening service in the series Revd Sally Muggeridge spoke about the experiences and martyrdom of St Paul in Rome.
On Monday 1st October at 1.10pm the series continues with 'St Peter in Rome' when the Choral Scholars will sing 'Tu es Petrus' – Maurice Durufle, 'James and Andrew, Peter and John' – arr. Stephen Jackson, 'Will you come and follow me' – arr. James Whitbourn and 'A Prayer of St Patrick' – Rutter.
