Royal School of Church Music
To mark the Platinum Jubilee the Royal School of Church Music (RSCM) has launched
its Platinum Project. The school has commissioned In Our Service, a new choral piece from
British composer Thomas Hewitt Jones and is hoping to get choirs around the country singing it on
or around the Jubilee weekend. The sheet music, suitable for cathedral and church choirs, choral
societies, chamber choirs, community choirs and schools, is available to purchase at the
RSCM website and may be emailed or photocopied within each choir without further charge.
Participating choirs are encouraged to share their progress on social platforms using the school’s
hashtags: #RSCMPlatinum and #InOurService.
