This unique feature of the Music Catalogue is something of which I am particularly proud. The Chorister Index is searchable

a chorister by name will list every solo, irrespective of length, which he has recorded. The index also lists any photographs
and articles, either written about or written by, that chorister, together with Audio Visual recordings, awards and any other
relevant information. Searching by a choir will list all their choristers, together with the work, who have ever recorded
a solo.
