July-2019-News.Pdf Cathedral News July 2019 – No. 687 From: The Dean The weekend of 22nd and 23rd June was very special here in Exeter. On the 22nd, we hosted the final of the National Twelve Bell Striking Contest - the world cup for bell ringers - with 10 teams of ringers from all over the country competing for the ultimate prize. It was a fantastic day. 1000 people turned up. The sun was shining. The Bishop’s Garden, where most of the eating and drinking took place, was looking glorious. This was Exeter at its best, and our visitors clearly had a great time. At 6 pm, we gathered in the Cathedral for the results. These were announced in reverse order, with each team being identified by a code letter instead of their name, so as not to influence the Judges in their decision-making by knowing any team’s identity. We slowly counted down from 10 to 9 to 8 and so on. And then there were just two left. The audience knew that the two teams were Birmingham (winner in 8 years out of the past 9) and us, Exeter, the home team. In second place came ….Birmingham, and the Cathedral erupted. There were certainly a lot of Exeter supporters in town; a wonderful emotional end to a magnificent day. And here is Matt Hilling, the Ringing Master, with the trophy. 1 We are deeply indebted to the Bishop for the loan of his garden, to Claire Griffiths, the Tower Secretary, and all the volunteers for their immense hard work and attention to detail, and to Matt Hilling, our Ringing Master, and the band for bagging the trophy. The next morning, we celebrated Bishop Martin Shaw’s 50th anniversary of ordination to the priesthood. He presided at the 10 o’clock Eucharist, with a large congregation, and preached with more gusto even than normal. +Martin was ordained in Glasgow in 1969: Harold Wilson was Prime Minister, this was the year of the first Jumbo Jet flight, and the year that witnessed Neil Armstrong’s ‘giant step for mankind’. It was a long time ago. And for all the intervening period, the Church has been blessed by +Martin’s enthusiasm, music, energy, commitment and his deep quest for God. A particularly moving moment came during Holy Communion, when Madeleine Shaw took to the organ loft and joined the choir in a spectacular rendition of Mozart’s Laudate Dominum. And after coffee and cake came a delicious hog roast in the Cloister Garden, followed by ice cream from the Orange Elephant. We in Exeter are fortunate to have the Shaws in our midst, and it was great to be able to celebrate 50 years of priestly (and episcopal) ministry with +Martin, Elspeth and all the family. Jonathan Greener 2 News from the Company of Tapisers: Exeter Cathedral is privileged to host a prestigious embroidery exhibition from the collection of The Royal School of Needlework. Entitled ‘For Worship and Glory’, it will be in the North and South Quire Aisles from Thursday 1st August until Monday 26th August 2019 during normal Cathedral opening times. The pieces of ecclesiastical embroidery, dating from the late 19th century through to the 21st century, will feature on vestments, altar linen, church samplers... Here are two photographs to whet your appetite! First, the image used for advertising this exhibition comes from a set of twelve panels called The Litany of Loreto. These scenes all praise the various attributes of the Virgin Mary. The scenes are stitched with great skill and delicacy: ‘pre-Raphaelite’ hair, embroidered robes and a sense of drama. The remarkable stitching uses a limited palette of sepia, brown, grey and white and significant goldwork. Secondly, a framed Angel Head with a halo couched in gold thread, silk shading for the serene face, and deeply folded garments. In addition, placed beneath the Pulpitum, will be a display of some of the stitched treasures here at Exeter Cathedral – some old and some new. You may recognise some of them! We want to show how these pieces of needlework fit into the long tradition of ecclesiastical embroidery. 3 Do come and see this exhibition for yourself – and bring friends, family, and neighbours, too. You will be amazed at the precision and beauty of the work – and humbled by the dedication, care and love of the embroiderers who created them. Gift for Notre Dame In response to the devastating fire at Notre Dame in April the Company of Tapisers decided they would like to show their solidarity for the stricken Cathedral Community in Paris. This white and gold celebratory stole is the result: with a lily, to represent Notre Dame, and the crossed keys and sword, for Exeter Cathedral. This will be presented as a gift of friendship from the Exeter Cathedral Community. Diana Symes, Chairman of the Company of Tapisers The Retreat Association Icon Exeter Cathedral is delighted to host this icon during August – from 7th to 28th – when it will be on display in the Lady Chapel. A gift to the Retreat Association from iconographer John Coleman, the icon depicts the story of the Woman at the Well. Jesus talks with her, accepts her for who she is, and invites her to drink of life-giving water. The icon is a focus for our prayers and devotions, through which Jesus also offers us the water of life. We will host a Quiet Day themed around the icon on Saturday 10th August from 10am – 4pm. Based in the Chapter House, and with a combination of worship, short talks, and times for prayer – and with lunch provided. At a cost of £12, please book via the Cathedral website. 4 From the Cathedral Bellringers Well! Exeter Cathedral bellringers are now the proud winners of the National Twelve Bell Striking Contest! After all the months of planning, and all the dedicated practices by our focussed team of ringers, it remains a wonderful sensation, as well as an incredible surprise, that the competition culminated in such success – our team are still on cloud nine. The day itself could not have been more perfect, as can be seen from the photo below. From the moment I woke to clear blue skies I knew that it was going to be the occasion which we had all dreamed of during the long committee meetings, and detailed planning. Nevertheless, everything still needed to fit into place like clockwork for the day to run smoothly, and without an energetic and committed team of volunteers we would never have succeeded. Early on Saturday morning saw the Cloister Garden busy with teams erecting gazebos and lighting barbecues, portable toilets were delivered, and then the focus turned to the Palace Gardens where there were more gazebos to erect and beer to be delivered. It was a frenetic couple of hours, and even busier once our first visitors started to arrive for breakfast. Timing was of the essence, and sharp on 11am the Nave was filled with enthusiastic ringers waiting for the draw; Bishop Robert and Dean Jonathan led the welcome with warmth and humour, which included drawing the team names from a mitre! And then it was time for the ten competing teams to start ringing…. Exeter were drawn to ring fourth – a perfect position, as there is nothing more demanding than ringing first, nor soul destroying than having to wait until last. Under the sunshine, the Cloister Gardens were filled with people listening to the bells, and the Palace Gardens opened, to the rapturous admiration of everyone who came, for the herbaceous borders and roses could not have looked lovelier set against the backdrop of the Cathedral. The marquee hummed with activity, and the lawns were filled with people chatting and relaxing – a truly stunning image and one which our visitors will long remember. 5 The Cathedral was alive with the sound of bells from our mini-rings, the scent of flowers filled the air, and visitors enjoyed the displays and stands, and later on the Quire filled with people for an enthusiastic Choral Evensong to end the day. Excitement built even further as the judges returned to the Cathedral Nave to present their results; with the teams judged anonymously and announced in reverse order, the tension was palpable. And of course the Cathedral erupted when Exeter were announced as winners, with a score of 85%, a clear margin ahead of trophy holders Birmingham at 82%. A fantastic result for our team on their home bells, and the Dean was thrilled to present the trophy to our ringing master, Matt Hilling. The day wound down with more socialising in the Palace Gardens until the sunlight faded. A wonderful and glorious day, crowned with the perfect result. And here is the victorious Exeter team. We did credit to our supplies – all beer was drunk (with sales amounting to over £6,000), all food was eaten, and everyone reported that the day had been an incredible success, with some 900 people passing through. Exeter Cathedral can be rightly proud to have hosted the National Twelve Bell Final, it is rare to have days when the Cathedral can be showcased to such a wide audience, including a live broadcast on the internet! The Palace Gardens added that special wow factor to the day, one which will, I suspect, trump all successive hosts. The welcome from all our volunteers was fundamental to the success, and for myself personally, the help from all the Cathedral staff and volunteers both on the day, and during the busy days beforehand when we were setting up, was both incredible and invaluable; team work in every sense.

    Fanfare for Christmas The title of our concert is taken from our opening song for the full choir - Fanfare for Christmas Day: Gloria in Excelsis Deo, an anthem, by Martin Shaw. Martin Edward Fallas Shaw OBE FRCM (1875 – 1958) was an English composer, conductor and (in his early life) theatre producer. His over 300 published works include songs, hymns, carols, oratorios, several instrumental works, a congregational mass setting (the Anglican Folk Mass) and four operas including a ballad opera With a voice of Singing is another of his anthems in our repertoire, performed several times in the past at Kowhai Singers concerts. Conductor Peter Cammell (BA, Post Grad. Dip. Mus.) studied music at Auckland and Otago Universities and then taught in secondary schools in both Auckland and London. He has sung in the Dorian Choir, Auckland Anglican Cathedral Choir, Cantus Firmus, The Graduate Choir, Musica Sacra, Viva Voce, and is currently with Calico Jam. As director of the Kowhai Singers for 21 years Peter has worked hard to extend the choir's repertoire and singing skills and thereby their musical understanding. Accompanist Riette Ferreira (PhD) has been the choir's pianist for most of the time since August 2003 except when personal commitments such as study towards her PhD degree in Music has taken her away from us.

  • Lorenzo Mango
    Lorenzo Mango CRAIG AND IBSEN TEXT PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCTION* In one of the very first volumes to study the considerable transformations in early twentieth-century theatre Sheldon Cheney makes a very interesting remark: ‘There are two great revolutionary figures in the history of the modern theatre: Henrik Ibsen and Gordon Craig’, immediately afterwards specifying that while the former had revitalized tradition in its best aspects, the latter had radically subverted it. His conclusion was that ‘Ibsen is the great reformer, Craig the great secessionist’.1 Cheney’s reading presents the two as avenues to modernity: radical reform of theatre writing on the one hand and the ‘secession’ of dramatic form itself, out and out revolution, on the other. Two roles and functions which met in Craig’s staging of three Ibsen plays: The Vikings of Helgeland which premiered under the title The Vikings in 1903, Rosmersholm, in 1906, and The Pretenders, in 1926.2 The Craig-Ibsen relationship was singular and tortuous. Of the three productions two – the second and third – stemmed from external commissions, only one being the result of explicit choice. The temptation exists to reduce the significance of the ‘great reformer meets great revolutionary’ not to any specific interest but to opportunity tinged with opportunism, given Ibsen’s almost invasive presence on the European scene in the early twentieth century. Craig’s measuring himself against Ibsen, in other words – the fact that three of his total of nine productions were dedicated to Ibsen – is simply further proof of the dramatist’s importance in the birth of stage directing.3 However, while this ground-breaking moment certainly offered the opportunity for * Translated by Anita Weston, Università degli Studi Internazionali di Roma.

  • Holst and Vaughan Williams Manuscripts at Liverpool Cathedral
    HOLST AND VAUGHAN WILLIAMS MANUSCRIPTS AT LIVERPOOL CATHEDRAL Judith The recent discovery of a small collection of manuscripts at the Anglican Cathedral, Liverpool, has shed light on a precisely identifiable but now almost forgotten period in the late 1920s and early 1930s when the Cathedral provided the initial context for various innovations in church music, some of which have become established as enduring features of the repertory. The collection also gives an insight into the working methods of two composers whose importance extends far beyond that of their contributions to English church music: Gustav Hoist and Ralph Vaughan Williams. The collection consists chiefly of correspondence, dating from c. 1930 to 1951, between the Dean of the Cathedral and various distinguished individuals including Hoist, Vaughan Williams and the composer Martin Shaw (1875 1958). Of particular interest are two manuscripts of music: an autograph draft score of Hoist's anthem Eternal Father, who didst all create] and a printed vocal score annotated by the composer, with corresponding autograph manuscript instrumental parts, of the Te Deum in G by Vaughan Williams. The Cathedral archive is essentially a private one without facilities for research, and the discovery of these manuscripts was fortuitous. As an aid to scholars, therefore, the Cathedral authorities kindly permitted the manuscripts to be photographed. One complete set of photographs is now held by the Department of Music at Liverpool Univer­ sity. Of the second set of photographs, those showing the hand of Gustav Hoist are now in the possession of the Hoist 162 J. Foundation. Those pertaining to Ralph Vaughan Williams have been donated to the Department of Manuscripts at the British Library by Mrs Ursula Vaughan Williams.

    Cathedral News April 2018 – No. 672 From the Dean : I first went to Romania for Easter while I was a theological student. We were staying in Sibiu, in Transylvania – Dracula country. At about half past two on Easter morning, we were woken in our dormitory by the crowds in the street below. At four in the morning, when the Liturgy started, there were seven or eight or nine thousand people in or around the Cathedral, all holding lighted candles, and singing with great enthusiasm Hristos a Inviat - or, in English: Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death. And bestowing life on those who are in the grave. The words of the song look to the future, but the fervent worship is certainly about here and now. I’ve spent several Easters in Romania since, and every time it’s the same. But it’s not just the worship. Easter in Romania marks a real turning point in daily life. For the next 50 days, until Pentecost, you no longer greet people with ‘Good Morning’, but with ‘Christ is risen’. And the answer, ‘He is risen indeed.’ We may say, here in England, that we are an Easter people and Alleluia is our song. But in Romania they live as an Easter people: it affects what they say, how they dress, what they eat. Easter is lived out every day. Resurrection becomes a part of the here and now. As I’ve worked on my Holy Week addresses on the Holocaust, I’ve spent quite a lot of time wondering whether I believe in resurrection.

IP address: 170.106.202.58 Four articles in this edition of the Journal arise from commemoration of a recent centenary, and of a transatlantic friendship that was highly significant for the devel- opment of modern Anglican liturgy. , on In 1918 William Palmer Ladd, professor of Church History at the Berkeley Divinity School in Middletown, Connecticut, was appointed Dean of that School. 30 Sep 2021 at 12:45:04 Among his first acts was to invite Percy Dearmer, by then author of The Parson’s Handbook and editor of The English Hymnal,1 to the United States as vis- iting professor at the seminary for the 1918-19 academic year. If Dearmer was already an established authority when he went to the USA, Ladd would after this visit become the intellectual leader, both through his teaching at , subject to the Cambridge Core terms of use, available at Berkeley and through the abiding influence of his book Prayer Book Interleaves,2 of the movement for liturgical reform that eventually led to the 1979 Book of Common Prayer. Yet neither Dearmer’s American sojourn nor the connection between Ladd and Dearmer have been given the attention they deserve. Three of these four articles come from a symposium ‘In the Spirit’s Tether’3 held at Yale in 2019, to commemorate the centenary both of Ladd’s appointment and Dearmer’s time in America, and to explore these two figures and their relationship.
