Recordings Currently the Parish Choir of Boys and Gentlemen have made three CDs: ● I will sing with the Spirit (1995): Popular 19th and 20th Century Anthems ● One Cold Dark Night (1996): Christmas Carols ● Light of the World (1999): Anthems of praise and supplication Please note that the CDs have not been generally released so it is not possible to find them in local record shops or online. We have had some enquiries about buying copies of the CDs but can only provide (genuine) copies on cassette as only a limited number of CDs were originally made and these have now been sold. Please contact Julian Cooper for further details. CD covers included by kind permission of Herald AV Publications, Farnham.
