In recent years the choir's repertory has included Mozart’s Requiem, Rossini’s Petite Messe, Liszt’s Missa Choralis, Handel’s Messiah, Vivaldi’s Gloria, Sch¤tz’s Christmas Story, Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas and works by de Mondonville, Charpentier, Lalande, Durante, Buxtehude, Haydn, Handel, Holst and Monteverdi - not to mention ‘The Wreck of the Hesperus’ by Thomas Anderton, Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms and works commissioned from local composers. In November 2006 the choir gave a rare semi-staged performance of Cavalieri’s The Drama of Body and Soul - the world’s first opera, and in May 2007 Beethoven was the featured composer in a performance of the Mass in C with the young Hannah Medlam the soloist in the Violin Concerto.  Besides giving concerts in Newbury, the choir has in recent years visited Andover, Hungerford, Lambourn, Chieveley, Burghclere, Chute and Abbotts Ann. In 2009 the choir mounted a full-scale Brahms Requiem with 200 guest singers from all over the country, at Easter gave two performances of Stainer’s Crucifixion in Highclere and Thatcham and the summer concert was a portrait of a Florentine wedding in 1539. In 2010 the choir gave the first performance of Edward Lambert's Rossetti Requiem, a large scale work for soloists, choir and orchestra, and in 2011 Paul Robinson was the guest conductor in Liszt's Via Crucis and Dvorak's Mass in D. We presented Handel's Funeral Anthem this summer complete with a bereaved King George II.
