Stone Church, St Mary the Virgin
13th Century parish church of Stone-next-Dartford, Kent
A place of welcome, prayer, healing and peace.
The Church choir
Music is very important in the life of the church and St. Mary’s. We are keeping a wonderful tradition alive and enjoying it. It is both a privilege and satisfying to know we are singing in a church where music has played a part since the 13th Century. We sing music from medieval plainsong through to 21st century first performances and have a large repertoire for a parish church including Allegri, Byrd, Tallis, Bach, Handel, Mozart, Attwood, Howells, Mathias and too many more to mention – new music is added all the time.
Here is a recording of a small group singing Come down O love divine by Harris. I hope you enjoy it.
If you love singing, you too could be a part of this: We are currently recruiting and require Sopranos, Altos, Tenors and Basses – something for everyone. Please contact the choirmaster for more information or pop along on a Friday night between 7 and 8:30pm, or on any Sunday.
