A World Male Voice Choir, made up of Over 8,000 choristers, gathered at the old Cardiff Arms Park, in Wales, on what was a very chilly and damp Saturday (29th May 1993) ... Here are two songs from that evening; the American Spiritual "Jacobs Ladder" and "Soldiers Chorus" from 'Faust'

Demonstrating the stark contrast between a gentle but passionate song of peace and the very rousing, proud song of would be soldiers at war.

Conductor; Owain Arwel Hughes

Made up of Welsh Choirs and the rest of the UK; plus choirs from all over the world

Thank you Cardiff for allowing us to take part! You did Wales, the UK and the rest of the World proud. I am glad that England is such a close neighbour to Wales ..... Pat Phillips

  • Thanks for your ...

    Thanks for your input MasterGiffia. The songs were already well rehearsed by the individual choirs when Conductor Owain Arwel Hughes, earlier in the day, ran us through the songs collectively. He certainly kept us on our toes! Not forgetting the wonderful rehearsal of Shirley Bassey (afternoon) ... Also; the logistics of gathering all the choirs in one place was achieved only through the dedication of the organizers! A target of ten thousand was their original aim. It may never be repeated!
