[hautyboy]

What a lovely silky and musical voice the soloist has, guess he is the head choirboy in this vid? The rest of the choir are great too!

[picardythirds]

does anyone know who arranged this?

[CDOG111]

The chorus sounds like the Brady Bunch.... "Here I am Lord.... aka Here's a Stor-y"

[lhynje]

is that their real costume?

it looks pretty....

pretty odd... i was satisfied with their performance but not with the costume...

[donhenri01]

@lhynje : it is the costume of all cathedral, collegiate and abbey choirs in England, and of the ECUSA choirs in USA.

[johnbpullin1]

@donhenri01 The "costumes" are called vestments.

[CSSailor1863]

@johnbpullin1 A Cassock is not a vestment. Cassocks are considered "Street Clothes" for men and boys under the employ of the Church, however that is very little in practice any longer.

[jlandles]

@lhynje These are the authorised garments for all choristers in the Anglican Communion in the entire United Kingdom.

[CSSailor1863]

@lhynje It is a Cassock and Collar. It is an Anglican tradition, and normally they have a Surplice over the red cassock, but not always. Choristers wear red, Clergy Black, Bishop's Purple, and some servers wear Blue. Naturally with the revolt against tradition many of those colors have been changed up, but that is the tradition.

Cassock and Ruff! Not all choristers wear red cassocks. It varies from church to church and cathedral to cathedral. In regards to the surplice, it's not usually worn unless in a service. For practices and concerts it's not worn.

Interesting to see that they're wearing their ruffs with the button/velcro at the front!! We wore ours with the fastening at the back!! And we were in blue cassocks!
