Our provision of music has developed over recent years. In 2019 we established a new amateur chant schola, the Schola Cantorum Santi Ioanni Houghton and in 2021 we established the Southwell Consort as a polyphonic choir.
Increasingly, therefore, music at our events is provided by those who understand and appreciate the Traditional Mass, and sing at our events regularly.
Essential to consistently good music (and at a reasonable cost) are the relationships and skills which are built up by repeated performances, together, under the same director, and singing a distinctive, Traditional Catholic repertoire.
These threads come together with the Holy Week services, where polyphony and chant are both
required. The Latin Mass Society is today able to call upon singers for these demanding services who are well-used to the ancient liturgy and its requirements, both professionals and appropriately prepared amateurs.
