As many of you already know, the Boys' School Song, 'IO SELHURST!' is written (and sung) in Latin.

In 1952, a sound recording was made and this was recently remastered from LP onto CD with the help of Keith Whitham. You can obtain this CD direct from Steve, the WebMaster. Drop him an email by clicking HERE

January 2008 - Thanks to Matthew Fisher (1957-64, Beta), you can download a midi file of the school song HERE (zip file), and, depending on your PC's configuration, you MIGHT be able to hear it if you click HERE

March 2008 - Thanks again to Matthew, who has revisited the last verse and created a 'variation on a theme'. The school song is still clear and we now have some very majestic overtones that gives the tune an even more triumphal feel

You can download a midi file of this variation HERE (zip file), and, depending on your PC's configuration, you MIGHT be able to hear it if you click HERE
