Bath Abbey Men & Boys Choir(UK) - Ave Maria(Parsons).wmv

Ave Maria, Robert Parsons Bath Abbey stands at the heart of the city of Bath; during the past twelve and a half centuries, three different churches have occupied this site: An Anglo-Saxon Abbey Church dating from 757, pulled down by the Norman conquerors of England soon after 1066; A massive Norman cathedral begun about 1090. It was larger than the monastery could afford to maintain and by the end of the 15th century was in ruins; The present Abbey church founded in 1499, ruined after the dissolution of the monasteries in 1539 by order of Henry VIII, was completed in 1611. The Abbey has no choir school, which enables it to draw its 24 boys, aged 8 upwards, and 30 girls, aged 11 to 18, from a variety of local schools. The boys rehearse twice a week, after school. Choirmen and Choral Scholars rehearse on Friday evenings. The girls rehearse, separately from the boys, twice a week after school.
