We are a choir that meets up a few times each year to sing Choral Evensong and other church services in the most special and inspiring places, usually cathedrals and collegiate chapels, or chapels in former stately homes. If you love singing traditional sacred choral music in a choir, and like the idea of doing so in amazing locations with new and old friends and partaking of agreeable hospitality, this may be something you would enjoy.

This website is also our Music Cupboard. You can find here a lot of music for evensongs and other choral services, in many cases with rehearsal audios or videos, to help singers learn their part. This may all be freely accessed and copied for non-commercial use, with a credit to 'With Cheerful Voice'.

St George's Lutheran Church, Alie Street, Whitechapel
German hymns evening

We return for a second visit to the oldest German church in the country with its original 18th century interior to sing classic hymns by Luther and others in German. As last year we will form a choir for the evening to sing a Bach chorale and probably a German folk song, and there is always wine and cake afterwards. This event is in conjunction with the Friends of St George's. More details nearer the time,

Saturday 4th October 2025

Explore and enjoy the hymns, psalmody and anthems of the parish church 1700-1850, a wonderful, once-lost repertoire known as 'west gallery'.
Come as a singer or an instrument player. There were few organs in villages churches in those days and so we are forming a band to accompany us.
This event will be held in an old english village church dating from Tudor times with a great deal of its pre-Victorian interior still intact.
