The Choir
The choir makes frequent broadcasts and recordings. The choir's two most recent recordings are "Music from the reign of King James" and "The Feast of Saint Peter the Apostle at Westminster Abbey" which also received very positive reviews. The Sub-organist is Robert Quinney and the assistant organist is James McVinnie, with James O'Donnell as the organist and masters of the choristers. In 2009 it was decided to no longer have the positions of Head Chorister and Second Chorister so that the choir would be like other choirs.

Famous quotes containing the word choir:
“As night is withdrawn
From these sweet-springing meads and bursting boughs of May,
Dream, while the innumerable choir of day
Welcome the dawn.”
—Robert Bridges (1844–1930)
“O thou, with dewy locks, who lookest down
Through the clear windows of the morning; turn
Thine angel eyes upon our western isle,
Which in full choir hails thy approach, O Spring!”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
