  • Hodie Christus Natus
    20 YEARS OF SWEET VOICES Saturday, September 7, 2013, 7:30 p.m. Holy Trinity Episcopal Church Program Surge amica mea .................................................................................................................................................. Anonymous (c. 1400) Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the covert of the cliff, show me your face, let your voice sound in my ears; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely. Rise Up My Love, My Fair One .............................................................................................................. Healey Willan (1880 - 1968) Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away; for lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear upon the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come; arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. Když jsi v štĕsti ................................................................................................................. Jan Facilis Boleslavsky (16th century) When you are happy you have many friends. This is true, believe me. However, if there is misfortune, not one friend out of one hundred will stay. Belief, anger, unfaithfulness, all cause derision, which divides a friendship. Il bianco e dolce cigno .................................................................................................................. Jacob Arcadelt (c. 1500-1568) The white and gentle swan dies singing; and I, weeping, reach the end of my life. Destiny is ironic that he dies unconsoled and I die blessed. Death fills me full of joy and desire. If in dying I feel no other pain, I would be content to die a thousand deaths each day. The Silver Swan ................................................................................................................................ Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625) The silver Swan, who living had no Note, when death approached unlocked her silent throat. Leaning her breast against the reedy shore, Thus sung her first and last, and sung no more.

  • An Obituary by Kenneth Shenton John Langdon, Who Died Recently Aged
    John Langdon (1943-2018) An obituary by Kenneth Shenton John Langdon, who died recently aged 75, was one of the ablest of that series of all- round musicians produced by Cambridge University during the early 1960s. While perhaps best known to the general public as a virtuoso organist of exceptional quality, he was a no less an accomplished pianist and harpsichordist, always fully capable of taking great delight in the occasional grand gesture. In addition, as a highly regarded lecturer and administrator at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama for almost half a century, he helped mould the creative personalities of many of this country’s most eminent practitioners. The eldest of three children, born in Minehead in 1943, John David Langdon began his musical career as a chorister at Worcester Cathedral. While there he was initially taught to play the organ by his Choirmaster, David Willcocks. Educated at the King’s School, in 1961, aged 18, he found himself reunited with his former mentor when chosen to succeed Simon Preston as Organ Scholar at King’s College, Cambridge. Indeed, it was Willcocks who undoubtedly instilled in him the academic rigour that not only characterised his subsequent career, but in the immediate short term, brought him a whole raft of awards, including the prestigious John Stewart of Rannoch Scholarship in Sacred Music. Having been elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Organists in June 1962, three years later Langdon moved to New College, Oxford, where he undertook specialised research into aspects of sixteenth century sacred music. His early reputation was forged with his painstaking research into the output of composer, Christopher Tye.

  • Records Ofearfv~ English Drama
    :I'M! - 1982 :1 r P" A newsletter published by University of Toronto Press in association with Erindale College, University of Toronto and Manchester University Press . JoAnna Dutka, editor Records ofEarfv~ English Drama The biennial bibliography of books and articles on records of drama and minstrelsy contributed by Ian Lancashire (Erindale College, University of Toronto) begins this issue ; John Coldewey (University of Washington) discusses records of waits in Nottinghamshire and what the activities of the waits there suggest to historians of drama ; David Mills (University of Liverpool) presents new information on the iden- tity of Edward Gregory, believed to be the scribe of the Huntington manuscript of the Chester cycle. IAN LANCASHIRE Annotated bibliography of printed records of early British drama and minstrelsy for 1980-81 This list, covering publications up to 1982 that concern documentary or material records of performers and performance, is based on a wide search of recent books, periodicals, and record series publishing evidence of pre-18th-century British history, literature, and archaeology . Some remarkable achievements have appeared in these years. Let me mention seven, in the areas of material remains, civic and town records, household papers, and biography . Brian Hope-Taylor's long-awaited report on the excavations at Yeavering, Northumberland, establishes the existence of a 7th-century theatre modelled on Roman structures . R.W. Ingram has turned out an edition of the Coventry records for REED that discovers rich evidence from both original and antiquarian papers, more than we dared hope from a city so damaged by fire and war. The Malone Society edition of the Norfolk and Suffolk records by David Galloway and John Wasson is an achievement of a different sort : the collection of evidence from 41 towns has presented them unusual editorial problems, in the solv- ing of which both editors and General Editor Richard Proudfoot have earned our gratitude .
