It will be performed at St George’s Church, Cleveland Road, Chichester, PO19 7AD, on Saturday, November 10 at 7pm.
Spokesman David Russell said: “The choir is raising money for the very deserving St Wilfrid’s Hospice and continues the theme of single composer tributes, following on from the hugely successful, sell-out Handel concert this time last year.

The programme includes the hauntingly beautiful Dido’s Lament; the Coronation Anthems I was Glad and My Heart is Inditing for eight-part chorus; orchestral works such as the Fantasia No 7 for Strings” and Sonata in D for Trumpet & Strings; and the popular Te Deum & Jubilate Deo in D, the preface to the vocal score describes how ‘all the strands come together at the final Amen, and, with the trumpets soaring above the ensemble, a work of great technical and musical ingenuity ends in a blaze of sound!
“Richard Allum will again be at the organ, and the concert will be conducted by Andrew Naylor.”
