The Choir of St John's has a large repertoire of music ranging from medieval plainsong to 21st century commissions, and everything in between. Psalms are normally sung to Anglican Chant with hymns from the 'Hymns: Ancient and Modern' hymn book.
The Choir normally sings three choral services every Sunday (except on the first Sunday of the month) in addition to concerts, weddings and extra services.
St John's Choir has made a number of recordings, including music for evensong by Kenneth Leighton.
The most recent CD was made in February 2010 containing music spanning the church year. It includes a comission by F. Grier 'At the manger Mary sings' and is available for £8 from the church office and Cornerstone Bookshop.
During the Edinburgh Festival month of August, the Choir sings a particulary large repetoire of music including full choral mass settings, frequently accompaned by orchestra.
Services usually following a particular theme or period of music and form part of the the Festival of Spirituality and Peace (FOSP), based at St John's.
