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.

  • 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. If you would like to join the committee as Magazine Editor or Secretary you would be most wel- come. Alastair Pollard.
