ReReReTour 2026 Details - Repertoire

Every Tour member, no doubt, has their favorite musical memories of the Tour and their favorite pieces that we performed in 1976- even if those 'favorites' lie in memories that haven't been revisited in many years.  We hope that the repertoire below includes at least one of your favorites!

​

The 2014 ReTour to Paris and the 2018 ReReTour to London and Bray demonstrated that the music from 1976 did, indeed, come back to us as an ensemble more clearly and more quickly than might have been expected. Having said that, it was also clear that every minute of rehearsal was definitely needed! So while the repertoire listed may not seem like a lot (its total performance time is about 50 minutes which would lead to a total concert length of about an hour), to perform it well will take a lot of focus by everyone on the ReReReTour.  For those who will be able to attend, the rehearsal in Cambridge on April 11, 2026, will be an important opportunity to try our pipes on music that many of us haven't sung for quite a while. 


But, still, we do hope that all participants in our ReReReTour chorus, the '76 Re3Tour Ensemble, will do their best to relearn their parts of the repertoire before arriving in Paris in July. To help you along your way, please listen to the Tour recordings (click here!) and look (a lot!) at the PDFs of the music that ReReReTour 2026 'Definites' may download according to the link and instructions outlined below.  As an ensemble, nothing can substitute for good preparation, and that starts now!
