The Rogate Choral Songbook

Since participating in the Petersfield Musical Festival in 1908 the Choral Society has brought music to Rogate and the surrounding countryside for over a century. In addition to performing the great choral works, the choir presents the village carol concert each Christmas and a country house midsummer celebration. It is these events that have prompted the compositions and arrangements in this book. Solo or unison items have been scored as simple four part settings, using the underlying harmony and imaginatively illustrating the words. It is anticipated that these original and tuneful settings will be enjoyed by choirs far beyond Rogate.
