@eatpoll There's no question - you're definitely right about the organ part. The bass notes in the organ part are indeed A, B♮, C#, D. You have better ears than me, though, as try as I might I still can't hear the basses on their C#.
-
@ASFX07 I'm thought maybe you were correct, but with the volume right up it sounds like they are singing the right notes, but that the bass part in the organ goes a,b, c# then rejoins the basses on the d. I'll check when I have a copy in front of me and can check the organ part!

I'm in the roder boys choir, we also sing this song. if somebody else also sings this What is the mistake you make the most?
Because there are some tricky places
-
Is it me or is the bass in this recording singing an A rather than a C# on "my" at around 1:35?

@StephF777, as an ex choirboy I understand @morphthing1's comment, but as the father of two girls I know where you're coming from.
Boy trebles have a unique voice which is at its very best for a short period of time just before breaking. Girls' voices change much more gradually over several years.
I'm not in favour of mixed choirs, but girl choirs are every bit as good as boys and your last sentence sums it up well. Good luck with your GB and let us know how you get on!

@morphthing1 A young girl's voice is not commonly as beautiful as a boy's but it does not mean they should'nt be able to sing in choirs like this. A talented, pure girl's treble voice is just as amazing as a boy's voice.

I'm singing this for my Gold Bishop's chorister - except it is just me so there are no lower parts; it doesn't make it the same or give it the tingle you get when you listen to it this. A beautiful recording.

Ah, the memories... to generations of choirboys everywhere this will always be "Wash me goolies"... takes me back nearly forty years to choir practice three times a week in a scruffy church hall.

This is a favorite of mine! Sooooo....
We're doing it this year @ St Aloysius, Pottstown!
Love the coaching pages. My choristers will love them more!
Many, many thanx for posting this!
Cheers!

Do I detect female voices?

@waldenhouse According to the website Manchester Cathedral Choir trebles are mixed boys and girls (unusual and somewhat sad in my view) so, yes!
