You get Motown Rescue! A music collaboration in aid of Tweed Valley Mountain Rescue (TVMRT), we hope it makes you smile as much as we enjoyed making it. TVMRT is an organisation made up of volunteers. It has to raise all of its own funds to keep the group operating, trained and equipped and any support is gratefully received. Please consider making a donation through Virgin Money Giving https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/charity-web/charity/finalCharityHomepage.action?charityId=1005371 InChorus is a large, vibrant, contemporary choir of all ages, from Peebles in the Scottish Borders. It uses music and performance to support others and has raised thousands of pounds for charity in its lifetime. The choir was delighted to support TVMRT with this project and hopes that it brings much needed support and funding their way. ******************* InChorus is a...    less

Having been friends and in the choral scene for twenty years, the two have been talking about a project like this for around fifteen years. Spurred by the release of the revised English missal, Alejandro and Eugene both thought it a good time to finally restart the project that they had shelved for some time. Only now, the idea wasn’t just to end with a single album; the idea was now to establish a ministry that would introduce a new generation of music to Philippine Catholics. The new ministry would have as its aim the creation of beautiful music to help the faithful to a more prayerful, solemn state of mind.

For its first project, Misa Solemne, the ministry features Solemne, Solemne Ministry’s flagship choir and the one Al...    less
