Briantspuddle Singers

 Psalm 107                           Music  by Herbert Sumison 

They that go down to the sea in ships and occupy their business in deep waters
These men see the works of the Lord and his wonders in the deep.
For at His word the stormy wind ariseth, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
They are carried up to the heaven and down again to the deep.
Their soul  melteth away because of the trouble.
They reel to and fro and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end.
So when they cry unto the Lord in their trouble. He delivereth them out of their distress.
For he maketh the storm to cease so that the waves thereof are still.
Then they are glad because they are at rest, and so he bringeth them unto the haven where they would be.                                
 

Songs of the Fleet,
Words by Henry Newbolt, Music by Charles Stanford Villiers

The sun was lost in a leaden sky and the shore lay under our lee; when a great Sou'wester hurricane came rollicking up the sea. He played with the fleet as a boy with boats till out for the downs we ran,
and laughed with the roar of a thousand throats at the militant ways of man.
"Oh I am the enemy most at might, the other be who you please.
Gunner and guns may all be right, flags a flying and armour tight, but I am the fellow you've first to fight. The giant that swings the sea".

The Briantspuddle Singers was formed at the end of WW2 to provide an opportunity for local people to participate in choral singing, including public performances. Membership is open to all those with a love of singing.

Briantspuddle Singers performs at least three concerts per year, with professional soloists and instrumentalists, as well as joining with the other choirs of the Dorset Guild of Singers to mount a major concert in the Lighthouse Hall in Poole in alternate years. In the intervening years the Guild runs at least two choral workshops concentrating on voice production and choral singing.  We also have links with the Dorset Rural Music School.

We also maintain a tradition of singing Christmas carols out of doors around Briantspuddle
