He shall feed me in a Green pasture : and lead me forth beside The waters of comfort. He shall convert my soul : and shall bring me forth in The paths of righteousness, for his Name's sake. Yea, thou I walk through The valley of The shadow of death, I will fear no evil : for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff comfort me. Thou shalt prepare a table before me 'gainst Them that trouble me : thou anointedst my head with oil, and my cup shall be full. But thy loving-kindness and mercy shall follow me all The days of my life : and I will dwell in The house of The Lord for ever. For Thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff comfort me. (Psalm 23) Sung at Canterbury CaThedral during our Royal School of Church Music Summer Course in 1986, under Martin How. I (David W Solomons) was one of The altos. John Huntley - a fellow alto - recorded this perforMance.  less

The Choir was formed in 1986 initially to provide a choir for Midnight Eucharist on Christmas Eve, but since Then we have become an established part of The Wells CaThedral scene, and now sing 40 to 50 of The regular services throughout The year, as well as some of The festival services which include a Requiem Mass on All Soul’s Day. We are an amateur auditioned choir of 30 and strive for a high standard, so for potential members it is important to have a reasonable sight-singing ability. We rehearse regularly throughout The year on a Thursday evening. The music we perform is very varied and as well as psalms we sing a wide range of canticles, masses and anThems of all genres so “Variety is The spice of life”! There is no membership fee, as we are fortunate to be supported financially with grants from The CaThedral Chapter and The Friends of Wells CaThedral. When we are in The CaThedral we are often singing in The Quire where we face one anoTher, effectively as tw...    less

At The wall's base The fiery nettle springs, With fruit globose and fierce with poison'd stings; In every chink delights The fern to grow, With glossy leaf and tawny bloom below: The few dull flowers that o'er The place are spread Partake The nature of Their fenny bed. These, with our sea-weeds, rolling up and down, Form The contracted flora of our town.  less
