Join Choir of the Earth's marvellous Musical Director Ben England BEM from Monday 26 February 2024 at 17:00 UK time as he launches our brand new digital choir course to learn, sing and record Samuel Barber's Agnus Dei - Barber's own choral arrangement of his famous Adagio For Strings.

>> WATCH THE COURSE LAUNCH HERE <<

Whether you know if from orchestral recitals, movie soundtracks or a nightclub dance floor, Samuel Barber's Adagio is an instantly recognisable piece of classical music. His choral arrangement - a setting of the liturgical Agnus Dei - is just as achingly beautiful and a real favourite amongst those who have sung the piece.

We invite absolutely everybody to enjoy this launch session, where Ben will play the guide tracks recorded for us by the fantastic Fieri Consort, as well as some other treats. We then invite you to join us in learning this transcendent piece with Ben and other singers around the world, line by line, voice part by voice part on YouTube.

Once you have learned the music, you are invited to use our world-class resources to record yourself singing it at home and include your voice in a global performance.

Join us in a powerful act of solidarity and a call for justice, as we learn and record a new version of WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS by Queen to raise awareness and funds for the sub-postmasters caught up in the Post Office Horizon Scandal.
