As Her Majesty the Queen is Royal Patron to the RSCM, we felt the Platinum Jubilee was an occasion on which we could honour that special connection. We are keen to engage hundreds, indeed thousands, of choirs so please share the details to anyone you think would be interested. It is quite intentionally commissioned as something melodic and appealing!
The webpage, which includes a taster video of lots of choirs singing the opening is here: RSCM Platinum Project | RSCM
The taster video itself (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsquymF4Utc) includes two choral societies, three church choirs, a military wives choir, two schools, and cathedral choristers – so it really does work with a wide range of groups!
If you would like to listen to the full piece as an audio track, it’s here (as recorded by St Martin’s Voices): https://www.rscmshop.com/media/1874/in-our-service-hewitt-jones.mp3.
We hope you will join with us in encouraging as many people as possible to sing this anthem; I do hope that we can get many, many churches and cathedrals to engage with it.
