Songs of Solace

Songs of Solace – “Softly As I Leave You”

This recording, the choir’s 34th and made in conjunction with The Co-operative Funeralcare Band, was inspired by the sensitive work of Co-op Funeralcare in seeking to source a CD of music that could bring solace and comfort to many. The choir would like to acknowledge the input, support and encouragement of the staff at Co-op Funeralcare who made this CD possible. Co-op Funeralcare uniquely sponsors both band and choir and is dedicated to serving communities throughout the United Kingdom.
