    Services and Music List

    Services and Music List March and April 2018 WELCOME Much of our attention, both in Church and in the world, is given to what is extraordinary; to anything which is unusual or which stands out. The daily round of prayer and praise at the Cathedral reminds us that our access to God, and our privilege to begin and end each day begun and ended in God – is far from ordinary. The gold of word and sacrament is supported here at Wells through sensitively chosen and performed music, which for many, is the very ‘language of God.’ It enables us to reflect our world and its triumphs and tribulations back to God creatively and so to experience our share in the divine life. We hope very much that you will join us when you can. The Reverend Canon Nicholas Jepson-Biddle, Precentor Communicant members of other churches in good standing are welcome to receive the Sacrament in this church if they so desire.

    Duncan Honeybourne Full Biography 900 words "The heroic Duncan Honeybourne" (Musical Opinion) enjoys a colourful and diverse career as a pianist and in music education. Reviews have commended his "glittering performances" and “suave confidence” (International Piano), “terrific intensity and touches of panache” (International Record Review), "intellectual and physical stamina" (Musical Opinion) and “delicate chemistry of touch and arm weight” (Gramophone). Fanfare magazine (USA) remarked: “Honeybourne’s performance is simply beautiful, even in its most powerful and haunting moments”, whilst American Record Guide commented: "Honeybourne's playing is always polished and refined." His debut in 1998 as concerto soloist at Symphony Hall, Birmingham and the National Concert Hall, Dublin, was broadcast on radio and television, and he gave recital debuts in London, Dublin, Paris, and at international festivals in Belgium and Switzerland. Duncan's debut CD was described by Gramophone magazine as “not to be missed by all lovers of English music”, whilst BBC Music Magazine reported: “There are gorgeous things here. Hard to imagine better performances.” Honeybourne has toured extensively in the UK, Ireland and Europe as solo and lecture recitalist, concerto soloist and chamber musician, appearing at many major venues and leading festivals. His solo performances have been frequently broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and TV (UK), RTÉ (Ireland), Radio France Musique, Radio Suisse Romande, Austrian, Belgian, Dutch, Finnish and German Radio, SABC (South Africa), ABC (Australia) and Radio New Zealand. Duncan's engagements for regional music societies and arts centres across England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland have included hundreds of solo recitals as well as many partnerships with renowned artists and ensembles.

    The Sacred in Opera April 2008 In this Issue... Ruth Dobson For the next two editions of the SIO newsletter, we are taking an in-depth look at one-act Christmas operas which can be easily produced and are appropriate for both children and adults. This issue we will profile Amahl and the Night Visitors, Only a Miracle, St. Nicholas, Good King Wenceslas, and The Shepherd’s Play. The next issue will highlight The Christmas Rose, The Greenfield Christmas Tree, The Finding of the King, The Night of the Star, and others. Thanks to Allen Henderson for sharing his insight into a triology of operas by Richard Shephard, Good King Wenceslas, The Shepherd’s Play, and St. Nicholas, with us in this issue. As great as Amahl and the Night Visitors is, there are these and other works waiting to be discovered by all of us. We hope you will find these suggestions interesting. These operas vary in length from 10 minutes to an hour, and can be presented alone or paired with others. Amahl and the Night Visitors is almost always a successful box office draw. Pairing it with a lesser known work could make for a very enjoyable afternoon or evening presentation and give audiences an opportunity to enjoy other equally wonderful works. Several of these operas use children as cast members, while others call for only adult performers, but all have stories appropriate for children. They are written in a variety of styles and have very different production requirements. Producers would need to take into consideration the ages of the children that are the target audience.
