The Choral - Official Trailer - In Cinemas November 7 - video Dailymotion

Live for Films

1916. As war rages on the Western Front, the Choral Society in Ramsden, Yorkshire has lost most of its men to the army. The Choral’s ambitious committee, determined to press ahead, decides to recruit local young males to swell their ranks. They must also engage a new chorus master, and despite their suspicions that he has something to hide, their best bet seems to be Dr. Henry Guthrie (Ralph Fiennes) – driven, uncompromising, and recently returned from a career in Germany. As conscription papers start to arrive, the whole community discovers that the best response to the chaos that is laying waste to their lives is to make music together.  The film stars Ralph Fiennes, Roger Allam, Mark Addy, Alun Armstrong, Robert Emms and Simon Russell Beale.  Directed by BAFTA, Olivier and Tony Award winner Nicholas Hytner (The Crucible) and written by BAFTA, Olivier and Tony Award winner Alan Bennett, The Choral marks their fourth writer-director collaboration following the acclaimed films The Madness of King George, The History Boys, and The Lady in The Van.  The Choral is in cinemas from 7th November.

02:14A man should hear a little music every day of his life,

02:18so worldly cares may not obliterate the beautiful in the human soul.

02:24Oh, that is nice.

02:27Who said it?

02:28Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

02:30For God's sake, man, lower your voice.
