Repertoire for 2005 Spain/France Tour
The following is the repertoire of songs the MBCC Senior Choir took along
with us on our tour of Spain and France, 25 June to 12 July 2005, though of course
we didn't sing all of them at each concert! The songs are of several styles,
and include many that the MBCC congregation has heard us sing in services,
as well as some secular songs we presented in our "La Musique de la Nuit"
