        Haydn St Nicholas mass (performed by Trevor Pinnock and HIP forces, with boy's voices).
        Wonderful !!
        Hope to be performing this next year with the University orchestra and chorus, with professional solists. I'll keep you posted...

          I love this piece (and all of Haydn's Masses, really).

          You are fortunate to be able to participate in a performance of it!

                      I once heard on TV some music for chorus and piano from Bramhs, and liked it a lot. Did he write much music for singing by a chorus, with or without accompaniment, Peter?

                        Yes indeed, here's a link listing them - http://www1.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/...f_choral_works

                        The German Requiem, Schicksalslied op. 54 and the Alto Rhapsody are particularly fine - this cd might also be a good place to start, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Brahms-Chor.../dp/B0000037HQ

                                Thanks a lot. Well I think I have listened to the Requiem over a hundred times already. First time I heard it, on the wireless set, I took the phone and called to know what the thing they were radiating was. The speaker told me it was the German Requiem. Next day they were radiating it again. But again , I called and I got the same answer, to my astonishment at not recognizing the work (which is very long) I had beeing listening to the day before.
