Purbeck Village Quire – The
Purbeck Village Quire is a group of singers and instrumentalists who enjoy meeting together to perform ‘West Gallery’ and folk music,
Music composed by people who lived and worked in the Purbeck villages. The Purbeck Village Quire was founded in 1989.
What do we sing?
A large part of our repertoire consists of music written in celebration of the main seasons of the year, Christmas and Harvest. Also music that would have been very popular in the villages; in Churches, Pubs and Village Festivals around 1850. We frequently sing Church music that would have been very familiar to Thomas Hardy, many of the arrangements coming straight from the hand-written manuscript books of his Father and Grandfather. We like to perform in costumes of the period to give our presentation a more authentic feel.
