Since its early days Cantemus has tackled music from a wide range of styles and periods, concentrating mainly on music for unaccompanied choir. It frequently performs with the Cantemus Orchestra, including in well received performances of Haydn's 'Nelson mass', Arvo Pärt's 'Te Deum', Duruflé's 'Requiem', and Finzi's 'Intimations of immortality' in the the Canterbury Festival. More recent landmark performances include Handel's 'Messiah' in 2009 and Mozart's 'Requiem' in 2010.
Other significant performances include: Barber's 'Reincarnations' and 'Agnus Dei'; Britten's 'Hymn to St. Cecilia', 'Rejoice in the lamb', and 'Ceremony of Carols'; Byrd's 'Masses for four and five voices'; Copland's 'In the beginning'; most of Finzi's choral music; Martin's 'Mass for double choir'; Palestrina's 'Missa aeterna munera'; Ravel's 'Trois chansons'; Taverner's 'Western wind mass'; Victoria's 'Tenebrae responsories'; Monteverdi madrigals; and motets by Palestrina and Poulenc.
