Hi,

my community choir is looking for a name. We do a range of stuff including African chants, sea shanties and other folk, contemporary pop, old classics (e.g. country roads). These are usually arranged in 4 part harmonies by my two teachers.

We are based in Cardiff in the UK but I think a location independent name would be good.

Here are my ideas so far so you can see the lines I am thinking along :

Dawn Chorus
Keynotes
Accidental Harmonies

Does anyone else have any good ideas ? Note that Grace Notes and Devil's Interval are already in use by bands.

The "Accidental Harmonies" suggestion reminds me that my wife used to sing with a group who called themselves "Grevious Bodily Harmony"!

That said, "The Accidentals" or "Passing Notes" might be better...

I like that one , it might make the group laugh.

There is already a band called the Accidentals based in Sussex.
Passing notes is a possibility.

Thanks for your suggestions

Thanks for the suggstions.

I like the simplicity of Take Note. It contrasts nicely with hemi-semi-demiquaver UnDiminished.

I spent some time with a super womens harmony group - 'Loud Mouth Women' they're still going strong as far as I know although I can't get to it any more.

My husband called us 'the Big Mouth Birds!'

I will make some of these suggestions to my group, but I won't be surprised if we actually get beyond something undynamic like Cardiff Community Choir (yawn)

Jiggers, where does the choir meet?

Hi,

it meets in a chruch hall in Canton. It has moved there recently from Severn Road School. If it moves again, who knows if it will be even be in Canton. I think there is already a group called the Canton Chorus. Canton Chanters and the Canton Cantoiri are possibilities as long as we stay in Canton. We were introduced once as the Canton ladies choir - quite annoying for the us men in the group at the time - all 2 of us :-)

Hi Jiggers,
Whatever you call it get the names Canton and Cardiff in it and you've got the attention of millions right away, make them press that button !
Here's one... Canton us not Cardiff, and of course don't forget it's the home of the greatest female singer... no I'm not Welsh !

Good Luck

Sorry I can't help with the name - good luck, but I don't think there's ever been a better name for a choir than one in Dundee, which singer/songwriter Michael Marra works with occasionally. They're called :
"Loadsaweeminsingin'".

At the end of the day, it'll be the women that decide, so it will probably be something flowery and spiritual that provokes images of summer meadows and well being.

I was a member of a community chorus in California named 'The OK Chorale'.
The group is defunct so the name is available but, perhaps it's not as relevant a name in your area as it is in the Western US.

I don't think Cardiff should be in the name as there are multiple community choirs in Cardiff.

Someone from my choir has suggested, A Choired Taste.
