The Choir comprises around thirty Choral Scholars, all of whom are ordinarily undergraduates of the College.
The choir has taken various forms since its foundation, and has existed in its present form since 1982 when, shortly after the admission of girls to the University of Cambridge, female voices were used for the first time for the choirβs top lines.
Four regular services are sung per week in full University Term, and the choir also sings Latin grace from the minstrels' gallery in the collegeβs Great Hall at a number of feasts.
In addition, the choir undertakes projects outside term-time such as recordings, concerts, radio broadcasts and tours.
The choir typically numbers between 25 and 35 members, most of whom are taken from within Trinity College.
Outside term the Choir enjoys a programme of high-profile performances and recordings. Under former Director of Music Richard Marlow, recent UK venues have included the South Bank and the Spitalfields Festival. The current director of music is Stephen Layton, who succeeded Richard Marlow in September 2006. By statute, the Director of Music is also a Category A fellow of the college.
The Choir has recorded some 40 CDs since the mid 1980s, with one recent release, Sweelinckβs Cantiones Sacrae, named a Gramophone CD of the Year. Regular radio broadcasts include the BBCβs annual broadcast from the College Chapel, of Choral Evensong or the Epiphany Carol Service. In addition to the Handel and Poulenc CDs, forthcoming recordings on Hyperion include a cappella works by Polish composer Pawel Lukaszewski.
An ambitious programme of tours has taken the Choir to destinations including the USA, South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Peru, as well as to many European cities. Future plans include Vierneβs Messe Solennelle in the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris this September, and tours to Poland, Canada, and Australia.

Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed
Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for His bed:
Mary was that mother mild
Jesus Christ her little child
He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all
And His shelter was a stable
And His cradle was a stall;
With the poor and meek and lowly
Lived on earth our Savior holy
And through all
His wondrous childhood
He would honor and obey
Love and watch the lowly mother
In whose gentle arms He lay
Christian children all should be
Mild, obedient, good as He
For He is our child-hood's pattern
Day by day like us He grew
He was little, weak, and helpless
Tears and smiles like us He knew
And He feeleth for our sadness
And He shareth in our gladness
And our eyes at last shall see Him
Through His own redeeming love;
For that child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heaven above
And He leads His children on
To the place where He is gone
Not in that poor lowly stable
With the oxen standing by
We shall see Him, but in heaven
Set at God's right hand on high;
When like stars
His children crowned
All in white shall be around

Once in royal Davids city,
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her Baby,
In a manger for His bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ, her little Child.
He came down to earth from heaven,
Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall:
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
For He is our childhood's pattern;
Day by day, like us, He grew;
He was little, weak, and helpless,
Tears and smiles, like us He knew;
And He cares when we are sad,
And he shares when we are glad.
And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Through His own redeeming love;
For that Child so dear and gentle,
Is our Lord in heaven above:
And He leads His children on,
To the place where He is gone.

I listen to this while studying abroad in the USA on a quiet night, it takes me back to the warmth of being with my family at Christmas, and the joy of my younger self at the idea of being with my grandparents. The warmth of the yellow bulb light of their houses after Christmas dinner and the bleak cold of the English winter outside. This takes me back to those nice times and being cold in the village church on Christmas Eve. Thank you for the upload
@whitecityboi
This particular arrangement is by far my favorite for this underrated hymn. Especially that descant at the end, it's like the heavens opened up and all the angels sang with a joyous voice. And I think this choir did a magnificent performance, BRAVO!!
@whitecityboi
Would you by chance, be able to post the words for the descant?

6. Not in that poor lowly stable,
With the oxen standing by,
We shall see Him; but in heaven,
Set at God's right hand on high;
Where like stars His children crowned
All in white shall wait around.

Yes, I sang it in my children's (Anglican) church choir (Christ The King, Bahamas) as a little boy as a soloist. Have loved it ever since. Thank you Mr. Seifert, our choir director.π
@meganmcgowan5798
Absolutely LOVE that descant! It's part of the fun of being a first soprano. We get to sing that great descant!! π
@nejuw
Love this after singing in uni choir. Beautiful harmonies and the ending as mentioned.
@russellsatterthwait3505
This carol and choir, takes you back to the essence of being. The personification of love. the sentient voices of those loved ones long gone, peaceful , harmonious.
