  • The Role of Music and Musicians in Current English Parish Church Worship: the Attitudes of Clergy and Organists
    The Role of Music and Musicians in Current English Parish Church Worship: the Attitudes of Clergy and Organists Robin Lodowick Douglas Rees B.Sc., M.Phil. (Lond.), C.Phys., M.Inst.P., M.B.C.S., A.Cert.C.M. Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music University of Sheffield December 1990 2 THE ROLE OF MUSIC AND MUSICIANS IN CURRENT ENGLISH PARISH CHURCH WORSHIP: THE ATTITUDES OF CLERGY AND ORGANISTS R.L.D. REES ABSTRACT One of the many issues currently confronting the Church of England is the role of music in worship. It is not a new debate, but has been brought into sharper focus in recent years in the wake of liturgical change. After examining the fundamental issues of the debate, the author considers them in the context of the present day. Other current matters of concern will also be discussed. The effects of liturgical change are then considered. The discussion is then widened to include: - a review of current hymnals and psalters; - a survey of the courses and qualifications in church music available in Great Britain; - three case studies demonstrating the problems that can arise when clergy and church musicians are in conflict; - a review of surveys in church music undertaken since 1950. The main work comprises a detailed survey by questionnaire to the priest-in-charge and organist at almost half the churches in a large diocese (that of Oxford). This yields an overall picture of: - respondents' personal backgrounds and general attitudes; - respondents' perceptions, both objective and subjective, of the situation at their church, and of each other.

    S e q u e n c e r The newsletter of the Nottingham & District Society of Organists Est. 1932 This edition of Sequencer was compiled and edited by David Gabe, typeset by Peter Siepmann, and printed by Temple Printing Ltd. Please address any correspondence to [email protected] FROM THE IMMEDIATE PAST-PRESIDENT David Butterworth MA MusB FRCO CHM FRSA It has been to me a matter of great honour to have had the opportunity to serve the Nottingham and District Society of Organists as President for the year 2015-2016, this being my third such term. Accordingly, I have done my best to promote the Society and what it stands for both locally and further afield. During the year, 18 new members have joined, and have already started to contribute their talents in one way or another. Sadly, as is inevitably the case, we have had to say farewell to two long- standing members who have been called to a higher place, namely Geoffrey Bond who, only at the last AGM, was elected a Life Member; and David Chapman, well known in the trade for his sterling work on the organs of the Royal Albert Hall and Westminster Abbey as well as more locally. As always, we welcomed friends and guests as and when appropriate, and they often contributed materially to the success and enjoyment of the occasion. Regular and semi-regular events featured through the year, such as the Annual Luncheon at which our guest speaker was Sir Andrew Davis; actually two coach outings further afield –– the first to London including privileged access to the organ in the ballroom at Buckingham Palace; the second to Trinity College and Jesus College, Cambridge, where we played the organs, visited the old libraries and attended choir rehearsal and Choral Evensong; and finally the President’s Evening.

It is a huge honour for me to follow in the footsteps of June Williams and John Ewington and I look forward to tackling fresh challenges for the Guild in 2018.

  • Chapter Two - the Nineteen Thirties
    CHAPTER TWO - THE NINETEEN THIRTIES Joyfully and thankfully, in the summer of 1930, at the age of twenty one, Gordon entered the Teacher Training Department of Nottingham University on a two year course. Music was only one of the five subjects that he was taking, but that was enough for great happiness. He spent as much time as he could in the Music Department, and at the end of the two years received his Teaching Certificate. With this certificate firmly in his possession, Gordon was now qualified to teach in a school and be paid a teacher's salary. 1 But music was more important, and he stayed on at University for a third year to study only Music, having gained a scholarship for this. He did as much work as he possibly could and after only one term, sat for his A.R.C.O. examination, and passed. This very ornate certificate, more decorative than the later F.R.C.O. one, was ready for presentation to him on the 20th day of January 1933. The Examiners were an impressive list: C.C. Palmer (organist of Canterbury Cathedral) Hubert S. Middleton (Trinity College Cambridge) Ernest Bullock (Organist of Exeter Cathedral) Edgar T. Cook (Organist of Southwark Cathedral) Reginald S. Thatcher (Teacher at Harrow School and Deputy Director of Music BBC) Harvey Grace (Organist of Chichester Cathedral) The Chairman of the college was Henry G. Ley, who at the time was Precentor at Eton College and the Hon. Secretary was Frederick G. Shinn, a post he held for many years.
