'AMBROSIA' - CHORAL REPERTOIRE

These are works which the choir membership has sung over the course of the last 7-8 years bringing in the repertoire sung previously at Northcote. Carols sung at the wharf are not included. New works are always being added, while some are seasonal favourites. The choir has an expanding repertoire in secular music, and some of a lighter nature - see below. (* = in preparation)
