The Spangles Chorus choir

The chorus

Formed in 2004, the Spangles Chorus is a ladies’ group singing a-cappella and barbershop four-part harmony, with no accompaniment. They are three times Barbershop Champions of Spain and Portugal and meet at the Las Claras Centre in Los Narejos, Los Alcázares, Murcia, Spain every Thursday.
If you would like to visit one of their rehearsals, they’d love to see you! Rehearsals run from 10:30 am until 1:00 pm.
Spangles are always happy to welcome new members, so why not come along and see if you would like to join them too?
The Chorus are proud to be a founding member of the Spanish Association of Barbershop Singers (SABS) – click here to find out more: www.sabs.es

Why is Singing Good For Us?

  • Singing stimulates happiness, which counteracts feelings of sadness and depression
  • Singing involves concentration, which blocks preoccupation with sources of worry
  • Singing involves deep controlled breathing, which helps with relaxation
  • Singing in groups offers social support and friendship, which relieves feelings of loneliness

The Music

Spangles sing a variety of popular songs, mostly with a rock, swing or blues feel. More and more great songs are now available in a cappella 4-part harmony and many are specially written for ladies’ choruses, so they are spoilt for choice. The Chorus also sing a number of Christmas songs and the festive season being one of their busiest times of the year.

Listening to them

Note by the editor:

I used the word choir loosely in the title of this post. To be correct: a choir is a group of singers, and a chorus is a group of singers that can include dancers. To make things even more interesting, the chorus does not have to include dancers. The Spangles Chorus identifies itself as a Chorus, not a choir.

Note by Lyn:
Actually, the term ‘chorus’ comes from our barbershop roots, which originate in the USA. Choruses don’t just sing, but can perform some choreography to enhance the story-telling of a song. We do include choreography when appropriate, especially if we are competing, where one of the judging categories is ‘performance’ (in America it is called ‘showmanship’).
