Music Notes: This Sunday, the Choir sings Christ, whose glory fills the skies, an anthem by Harold Darke (1888–1976). Darke studied composition with Charles Villiers Stanford at the Royal College of Music in London and was a professor of music there from 1919 until 1969. Renowned as one of the finest organists of his era, Darke was for fifty years organist at St. Michael’s Cornhill, a London church whose present building was built by Sir Christopher Wren in the late seventeenth century. During World War II, Darke took a leave from St. Michael’s to serve as Acting Director of Music at King’s College, Cambridge, deputizing for Boris Ord, who was serving in the Royal Air Force. Harold Darke’s compositions are mostly for choir and organ, with his setting of Christina Rosetti’s poem, In the bleak mid- winter, being his most famous work. Today’s anthem was composed in 1966 and is set to a hymn text of Charles Wesley. Next Sunday, the Choir will sing movements of Harold Darke’s Mass in E, composed for the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge. – Paul J. Murray
