Print Friendly Page 
Portsmouth Cathedral Choir Portsmouth Cathedral Choir is made up of twenty-four boy choristers and fourteen gentlemen who contribute to the pattern of daily cathedral worship. The choristers rehearse weekday mornings at 8.00am before a normal school day. The gentlemen undertake huge commitment to the choir alongside our choral scholars who are taking their Gap Year in Portsmouth.

David Price has been Organist and Master of the Choristers since 1996. Before he came to Portsmouth he was Assistant Organist of Ely Cathedral. In addition to his duties at the cathedral, he is a member of Council for the Royal School of Church Music and serves on General Synod.

Portsmouth Cathedral Choir - Horatio, Lord Viscount Nelson, K.B.
Horatio, Lord Viscount Nelson, K.B. (HeraldAV HAVP232, CD) February 1999
Featuring Portsmouth Cathedral Choir  
From Herald's website: The death of Nelson has become the central event of the Battle of Trafalgar. Even at the time it over-shadowed all other aspects of the great drama, and public mourning for Nelson completely eclipsed the rejoicing for what was, after all, one of the most decisive naval victories ever won. People who had never even met him grieved for him. There was a widespread sense of personal loss, and so the public grief for Nelson found its expression and release in an emotional public funeral. The ceremonies were spread over two days: a grand water-borne procession up the River Thames from Greenwich, where his coffin had lain in state; a huge and colourful procession through the streets of London; and finally a two-hour service in St Paul's Cathedral, with stark, haunting words and glorious music
