About West Sussex Sings

Community Choirs are a great way to get involved with music, whatever level of experience you have.  Singing with other people is not only a lot of fun; it is scientifically proven to be good for you!  It lowers stress levels, helps improve breathing, increases memory function, increases confidence and is a great way to meet other people.


The emphasis is on singing for the sheer joy of it in a mutually supportive atmosphere that naturally evolves, where those with more confidence give support to those with less, who in turn become more confident. You’ll be amazed at the fantastic and musical sound a Community Choir can make!


Our Community Choirs welcome singers of all abilities, there are no auditions and songs are usually taught by ear. The repertoire is hugely varied, from traditional African call and response songs to gospel and soul tunes, right through to contemporary chart hits.

March On - Virtual Choir

This uplifting song, written by Emily, is based on lyrics supplied by members of West Sussex Sings Choirs and reflect feelings from the months of lockdown we have endured during this pandemic.

Time Well Spent - Virtual Choir

This song has strong links to West Sussex. The original melody was written in 1788 by Wolfgang Mozart but was later appeared in the 1982 edition of "A Sussex Tune Book" in which it is ascribed to Michael Turner who was clerk and sexton of the Parish of Warnham from 1830 to 1880. The title, "Time Well Spent", used by Emily as inspiration for the lyrics, can be found on signs welcoming visitors to the West Sussex town of Horsham.

Chior members seen in this video are from all the West Sussex Sings Choirs and a choir in Northumberland.

 

The lyrics and arrangement are by Emily Barden
