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'.

Below are details of our upcoming events. All our events are open to any reasonably experienced choral singer.
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.
