Leeds People's Choir
Leeds Peoples Choir Repertoire Vote 2017/18
Report
Quite a few songs were nominated by choir members: thanks to everyone who nominated
songs and voted either online or on paper. Many of the songs had a political element and
were a good fit with our choir ethos.
Twelve songs were ones we had sung before or where there was ready access to an
arrangement for the choir. These formed the Section 1 songs. Members could vote for up
to three songs in Section 1.
We also received a number of nominations for songs which might be interesting to sing
but where we don't have ready access to a choir arrangement. These eight songs formed
the Wildcard Section. Members could vote for up to two songs in the Wildcard Section.
Twenty six member voted in total.
