Choral & other musical links
- British Choirs on the Net
- Two thousand two hundred and seventy-four choirs in UK with web site and email details where available. Describes itself as 'the UK's largest Choral Community.'
- Choral Net
- "The Internet Center for Choral Music" - that spelling should alert you to the fact that it's a very American site! But some good links to YouTube videos of great choral performances as well as some hilarious spoofs (I likd the 'Remote Control Choir'!) and a lot of chat on various blogs. Find your way to a long discussion on how to pronounce 'Jesu' and a translation of 'Gaudeamus igitur' but also explore vast amounts of useful or interesting information and opinion on all things choral.
