CHORISTER
SOLO INDEX ; This unique feature of the Music Catalogue is something of which I am particularly
proud. The Chorister Solo Index is searchable by :
- Individual
Choristers

Searching for a chorister or boy soprano 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.
