Music at the Grosvenor Chapel

MUSIC FOR THE SUNG EUCHARIST

The Choir sings each Sunday morning (except during August and on the Sundays after Christmas and Easter). The music is drawn from the great repertoire of mass settings, motets and anthems by composers from the renaissance to the present day, chosen to complement the season and the readings for the service.
