Our Choral Programme
How Many Carols? by Paul Ayres
Get ready for a festive musical puzzle with a difference. In this short three-day online course, Choir of the Earth will learn and record Paul Ayres’s brilliantly inventive How Many Carols? (Version II), which weaves 25 familiar Christmas carols over the bass line from Pachelbel’s Canon in D.
Musical Director Ben England will teach the piece step by step, with recorded rehearsals and voice part louder rehearsal tracks to help you learn at your own pace. At the end of the course, you can record your part from home and become part of our final Choir of the Earth performance.
