Treasures of Song and Instrumental Ensemble – The Choir of Pinetown Junior Primary School
LP Vinyl Record | South African Pressing
A charming and authentic South African school choir recording featuring The Choir of Pinetown Junior Primary School, performing a curated selection of traditional, seasonal, and inspirational vocal works alongside instrumental ensemble pieces.
Recorded in Durban and showcasing children aged approximately eight years old, this album captures a warm, community-focused snapshot of South African music education in the 1970s. The repertoire includes Christmas selections, spirituals, and light classical arrangements, performed with Orff-style percussion and piano accompaniment.
Conducted by Alet Koekemoer, with piano accompaniment by Aagot Gulbrandsen, this record reflects the strong choral tradition within South African primary schools and was produced with the support of local sponsors and community contributors.
This is a genuine South African pressing, with local recording credits and production details clearly referencing Durban and Pinetown institutions, making it of particular interest to collectors of South African vinyl, educational recordings, and historical choir releases.
