Its role in Christian theology and spirituality has a much longer history, but by the beginning of the twentieth century, its expressive potential had not been significantly recognized in liturgical choral music. This study examined the relationship between twentieth-century musical silence and the expression of silence as the ineffable in Anglican choral music (referred to as English cathedral music or ECM) of the middle of the twentieth century. The oeuvres of Benjamin Britten and Herbert Howells, two composers successful in both secular and liturgical repertoires and prominent in mid- twentieth-century ECM, were analyzed. This study examined perceptions and expressions of silence in areas of thought and creativity closely related to ECM: Anglican theology, twentieth-century music, and twentieth-century literature. It found that twentieth-century Anglicanism had an ethos of restraint about expressing silence, but the High Church wing (closer to Anglicanism’s Catholic roots) was more open to expressing silence as the ineffable than the Evangelical wing. Howells’s High Church background and Britten’s Evangelical background help account for Howells’s interest and Britten’s lack of interest in silence as the ineffable. This difference between Howells and Britten also became apparent by examining the silence-related literature they selected or avoided. Howells’s oeuvre thus became the focus of the remainder of the study. Howells’s perceptions of, and techniques for expressing, silence as the ineffable—some of which are unique to him—were identified and compared with the perceptions and techniques of important continental composers interested in silence: Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, Anton Webern, and Olivier Messiaen. This study analyzed Howells’s more direct expressions of silence in several secular works before analyzing the more nuanced expression of silence in his ECM.

  • THE ORGAN WORKS of HEALEY WILLAN THESIS Presented to The
    { to,26?5 THE ORGAN WORKS OF HEALEY WILLAN THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State College in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Music By Robert L. Massingham, B. S., M. S. Denton, Texas August, 1957 PREFACE LHealey Willan occupies an unique position in Canadian Music and can be considered as that nation's "elder musical statesman." At the time of writing he is a septuagenarian and still very much active in his profession. Born and trained in England, he was well-established there when he was persuaded to come to Toronto, Canada, in 1913 at the age of thirty-three. Since that time he has contributed enor- iously to the growth of music in his adopted country, carry- ing on the traditions of his fine English background in music while encouraging the development of native individuality in Canadian music. Iillan has been first and foremost a musician of the church--an organist and choirmaster--a proud field which can boast many an eminent name in music including that of J. S. Bach. Willan's creativity in music has flowered in many other directions--as a distinguished teacher, as a lecturer and recitalist, and as a composer. He has written in all forms and for all instruments, but his greatest renown, at any rate in the TUnited States, is for his organ and choral works. The latter constitute his largest single body of compositions by numerical count of titles, and his organ works are in a close second place. iii Willants Introduction, Passaqaglia, and Fuue has been well-known for decades as one of the finest compositions in organ literature, enjoying a position alongside the organ works of Liszt, Yranck, and Reubke.

Previous studies that have touched upon anti-Catholicism in the North East of England have tended to argue that local cultural factors reduced the anti-Catholic feeling which was more evident in other areas of the country during this period.

  • Bishop James Brooks
    The arms and seal of James Brooks (1512-1558), third Bishop of Gloucester (1554-1558) The Society’s Badge by Lez Hough - Journal 2, Gloucestershire (and North Avon) Catholic History Society, February 1987 At an early meeting of the society’s standing committee it was decided that a badge should be devised for the society which would incorporate the arms of James Brooks, the Marian Bishop of Gloucester, as its principal element. I undertook to produce a design, and this the committee has now accepted. Being an armorist rather than a historian, it is with some diffidence that I offer the following thumb-nail sketch of Bishop Brooks; details can be read in, for example, the Dictionary of National Biography, and it may well be that one of my colleagues will wish to write more fully about him in due course. James Brooks – so spelt in the D.N.B., and which looks less angular than Broks, the version which heraldry books seem to prefer – was born in 1512 in Hampshire, studied at Oxford from 1528, and pursued an academic career there, becoming Vice-Chancellor of the University in 1552. He lived through the turbulence of the reigns of Henry VIII and Edward VI without apparently attracting much attention, but his appointment as chaplain to Bishop Stephen Gardiner of Winchester probably indicates where his religious sympathies lay throughout these years. Shortly after Mary I’s accession he was elected Bishop of Gloucester, received his consecration in Saint Saviour’s Church, now Southwark’s Anglican Cathedral, and was invested with the temporalities of his new see in May 1554.
