Music · Hymns & recordings
The songs we sing together.
The Guild sings — at every monthly meeting, at every feast day, and most fully at the Annual General Meeting. What is gathered here is the Guild's working hymnal: Shona nziyo, English hymns, and the antiphons that open and close the formal sessions. Sheet music and a chant line accompany each recording where available.
