English Miscellany Song Section performs songs that we enjoy singing. We always sing from memory, except at Christmas time when we often sing carols from a wide list, but even then we have a repertoire of more folk-style carols and wassails. Here is our current list of songs we perform without a safety net (ie. a sheet of paper), roughly categorised according to the structure and number of harmony lines. In addition to these, we sing many songs at social occasions, usually in the style of solo verse plus ad hoc harmony chorus.
