Lichfield & District Organists' Association LICHFIELD & DISTRICT ORGANISTS’ ASSOCIATION Founded 1926 LDOA President: Martyn Rawles, FRCO AUGUST 2014 NEWSLETTER RECENT LDOA VISITS pipework along with the Great soundboard, but everything else was provided new by Bishops, including the Wednesday 9th July 2014, The Church of the Holy magnificent ornate casework, designed by G.F.Bodley and Angels, Hoar Cross Canon Frederick Sutton. Bishops carried out subsequent modifications, and in 1935 Conacher Sheffield & Co made For our evening visit to The Church of the Holy Angels, significant changes, including a new Swell and the Hoar Cross, we were welcomed by Fr Graham Bott and introduction of pneumatic action. Although the changes Church Warden Peter Humpidge. were intended to improve the sound quality and projection, particularly into the nave, they added considerably to the congestion within the instrument, making access for tuning and fixing faults exceptionally challenging, effectively hastening the instrument’s demise. By the 1970s the instrument, had fallen into disrepair, and was replaced for services by an Allen electronic organ. Following the generous offer in 2009 of financial assistance to fund the organ's £200,000 restoration by the family of Jeanne Elizabeth Hoyes in her memory, a detailed appraisal of the options was carried out by Dr. William McVicker. He concluded that the only practical solution was to revert to the 1876 configuration. This meant stripping out the pneumatic action, decongesting the instrument’s interior to enable proper future maintenance, careful restoration of the historic Green material, and a return to Bishop & Son’s mechanical action, including procurement of an 1870’s style straight The Church of the Holy Angels, Hoar Cross pedalboard. After inviting a number of contractors to tender for the work, by fortunate coincidence, the contract For a rural church, The Church of the Holy Angels, Hoar was awarded to Bishop & Son, the original supplier of the Cross, is a most imposing building, more like a miniature organ. cathedral than an ordinary village church. In fact, the building of the Church of the Holy Angels was funded by The Hon. Emily Charlotte Meynell Ingram as a memorial to her late husband Hugo, who died after only 7 years of marriage. She devoted her talents, her wealth and her love to creating the perfection of beauty which characterises it. On land adjacent to her home, Hoar Cross Hall, building work started in May 1872 and was sufficiently advanced for Bishop Selwyn of Lichfield to celebrate the first Eucharist in the new building in January 1874. Two years later he returned to dedicate this beautiful ornate church. The fourteen gilded Stations of the Cross around the walls of the church are particularly notable, elaborately carved in wood by two old men living in Antwerp at the time. Derek Cross, who plays the organ for Sunday services, generously provided illustrated booklets about the organ, and gave us a brief history. The Hon. Emily Meynell Charlotte Ingram commissioned Bishop & Son of London in 1876 to install an organ in her new church. There was available a Samuel Green organ dating from 1779, which had been removed from Bangor Cathedral, and which had been renowned for its distinctive mellow tone. It was installed at Holy Angels, retaining some of Green’s Organ of The Church of the Holy Angels, Hoar Cross 1 The organ was completely dismantled in the spring of nave. Most members found the straight 1870’s style 2012 and transported to Bishop’s Ipswich workshop. straight pedal board something of a challenge! Rebuilding commenced in late Autumn 2012; the major components were in place by Spring 2013, with the tracker work and pipe installation/tonal changes completed in Summer 2013. Martyn Rawles, Lichfield Cathedral Organist, was invited to perform the inaugural recital in August 2013 to celebrate its rebirth, with the Needwood Singers conducted by Margaret Langford, a distinguished soloist and a member of Ex Cathedra, contributing additional choral works. The specification of the organ is now: Pedal Violone 16’ Choir Stop’d Diapason 8’, Dulciana 8’, Principal 4’, Flute 4’, Alan Taylor at the organ of The Church of Clarinet 8’ The Holy Angels, Hoar Cross Great A most interesting visit to a beautiful church, much Open Diapason 8’, Clarabella 8’, Principal 4’, Fifteenth 2’, enjoyed by 11 members, and we were particularly pleased Mixture III, Trumpet 8’ to be able to welcome Dawn Clay, who lives locally, to her first LDOA visit.

  • Wells Cathedral Choir Rehearse Under the Direction of Their Organist and Master of the Choristers, Matthew Owens
    Vol. 7 No. 9 Wells Cathedral Choir rehearse under the direction of their Organist and Master of the Choristers, Matthew Owens. I am pleased to welcome you all to a new era in the ongoing life of the Federation of Cathedral Old Choristers Associations. We live in an ever changing world, and FCOCA is no exception. On a very sad note Michael Barry editor of this publication for many years died on 10 th March 2016 after a long illness. Michael had devoted much time and energy to revitalising the magazine for which we all owe him a great debt of gratitude. Circumstances have worked against us but after much discussion it was agreed at the Wakefield AGM this year that an electronic publication would be prepared which could be read on a computer or printed in the high street. The result is this publication which is as far as we could establish a complete set of reports sent from the various associations. If there are any omissions in this edition please accept my apologies. We have tried very hard! We have had a number of other changes on the committee recently. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ian Henderson and Richard Belton for their many years of service as Chairman and Secretary.
