Cantabile
Repertoire 2008/09
Historians (ha!) might note that we actually started 2008/09 by repeating the previous year's Music Divine concert.

| arr Thalia Wild | Christmas bells |
| Zoltán Kodály | Christmas dance of the shepherds |

Entente Cordiale
We liked French Collection so much that we reprised most of it (sorry, no Fauré) for a new audience, and added some contrasting groups of English songs –
| Edward Elgar | As torrents in Summer |
| Charles Wood | Full fathom five |
| Thomas Morley | It was a lover and his lass and Now is the month of Maying |
| Dominic Behan | Liverpool Lou |
| Arthur Sullivan | The long day closes |
| John Bennet | Weep O mine eyes |
| arr Jane Edwardson | What shall we do with the drunken sailor? |
