Petter The Very Thought of You Noble arr. Ayres Blessed City, Heavenly Salem Edward Bairstow (1874-1946) Sir Edward Cuthbert Bairstow was an English organist and composer in the Anglican Church music tradition. Born in Huddersfield, he studied the organ and went on to receive his Music Doctorate at Durham University in 1901. Bairstow held posts in London, Wigan and Leeds before being appointed organist at York Minster in 1913 where he served until his death. A composer of both instrumental and choral pieces, miniature and large-scale, Bairstow’s output includes twelve published organ works and chamber music. He is however best known for his sacred choral works. Bairstow was an admirer of Brahms and also of the polyphony of earlier English composers and these influences may be heard in the five, musically contrasting verses of Blessed City, Heavenly Salem. The melodic material of this anthem is based on plainsong, but is sung to an elaborate organ accompaniment. There is a remarkable instrumental interlude between the fourth and fifth verses in which the organ extends the triumphant feel of the fourth verse, and then gradually subsides into the mood of peace in the final phrases.

    Chapel Royal Hampton Court

    CHAPEL ROYAL HAMPTON COURT SERVICES FOR JANUARY and FEBRUARY 2019 0 1 WELCOME WELCOME to Her Majesty’s Chapel Royal, Hampton Court Palace for this service, and to a continuous tradition of worship that has been practised on this site for at least 800 years. This is one of the Queen’s Chapels, and as such, not a parish church. The original chapel was founded by the Knights Hospitaller long before Cardinal Wolsey began rebuilding it in 1528. The fine vaulted ceiling, dating from 1535, was the major addition by Henry VIII. Most of the chapel furnishings date from the late 17th and early 18th century and were designed by Sir Christopher Wren. The organ (although much altered and re-built) essentially dates back to 1711 and retains not only its fine case but much original pipework. The Chapel Royal was not originally a building but a body of priests and singers that traditionally accompanied the monarch wherever he or she went. Only later did the buildings this body used become known by that name. Today, as well as Hampton Court, there are Chapels Royal at The Tower of London, The Queen’s Chapel of the Savoy, and St James’s Palace, which is the headquarters of the Chapel Royal. Services in all of Her Majesty’s Chapels are based on those from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, and you will have been handed an Order of Service with this booklet. The Chapel Royal has an unrivalled continued tradition of choral music. Many of the greatest English composers have worked and composed pieces in and for this place, Tallis, Byrd, Gibbons, and Purcell among them.

    PMMS Tomas Luis De Victoria Discography May 2020

    Tomás Luis de Victoria Discography Compiled by Jerome F. Weber The Victoria Masses and Officium Hebdomadae Sanctae have existed as working lists for many years. The discography has been refreshed from the original records and newly reformatted to match the Du Fay and Josquin des Prez discographies previously posted on this website. There are 20 authentic Masses and the dubious Missa Dominica; all of them have been available on records since 1999. Victoria set the Magnificat 18 times, but only 11 settings are known to be represented among the 35 recordings. There are 16 settings in all the modes, both odd and even verses; another setting in the first mode is through-composed for eight voices, and a setting in the sixth mode is through- composed for 12 voices. Four recordings not heard have not been identified as odd-verse or even- verse polyphony. The motets and other works are identified according to the Pedrell edition; only four motets and an antiphon have not been recorded, as noted. Discographies of the Magnificats and the Masses were published on this site in January 2019. The other works have been newly compiled. Classical-discography.org, Michael Gray’s website, has provided additional details. Additional entries were found in the discography published by Eugene Casjen Cramer in 1998. The recordings of each work are arranged chronologically, citing conductor, ensemble, date of recording if known, and timing if available; then the format of the recording (ac, 78, 45, 33, LP, LP quad, MC, CD, SACD, DVD), the label, the issue number(s), titles of collections, and track or band numbers.
  • Second Sunday of Lent – 8Th March 2020

    Second Sunday of Lent – 8Th March 2020

    1 Music Notes: Second Sunday of Lent – 8th March 2020 The mass setting at the Solemn Eucharist this week is the Missa Brevis by William Walton (1920–1983). This piece was the result of a commission from the Friends of Coventry Cathedral in 1965, and was first performed there in 1966. The commission came just three years after the Cathedral had first opened in May 1962, having been built alongside the ruins of the bombed-out 14th century church that was destroyed in the Second World War. At the end of May 1962, the War Requiem by Benjamin Britten (1913–1976) was premiered there. Its fruition was the result of another commission by the cathedral for a work to mark the consecration of the new building designed by the architect Basil Spence. Michael Tippett (1905–1998) had also been commissioned to provide a work for the arts festival associated with the consecration, and he provided the opera King Priam. So, there was commissioning fever in the air, and William Walton was certainly a key British composer who could rank alongside Britten and Tippett. In fact, he was really rather jealous of Britten’s success and resented his seemingly easy access to the upper echelons of the British establishment. He believed that this was the result of a gay cabal from which resolutely heterosexual composers such as he were unreasonably excluded, all the more unfair, he thought, as the members of his tribe were surely the ‘normal’ ones. (This is a reasonably accurate paraphrase of several comments he made.) Coventry Cathedral was, as a result of the War Requiem, inextricably connected with Britten, so one can just imagine what he felt when he was approached just three years later to provide a work of his own.

    After One of the Wettest Droughts for Years, a Fine Day Dawned As About

    “Music for a Long While” Reminiscences of Dr Francis Jackson CBE [born October 2nd 1917] On October 14th, members and guests gathered in the pleasantly refurbished Princes Street URC, to enjoy an illustrated lecture celebrating the legend that is Dr Francis Jackson CBE. Ronald Watson, himself a published composer, is a long-standing friend of Dr Jackson so was able to give us a delightful miscellany of biographical and anecdotal snippets, demonstrating Dr Jackson’s character, personality and musical achievements. Sir Edward Bairstow (1874-1946) admitted the young Francis to the choir of York Minster in 1929 at the age of 12 - quite old by today’s practice. He became organist at Malton Parish Church at the age of 16. The first recording we heard was Dr Jackson speaking affectionately of Bairstow whom he clearly idolised as his mentor and teacher. We then listened to the Prelude in B minor BWV 544 played by Bairstow in 1927, a fascinating insight into how Bach was played in England in the 1920s – a surprisingly fast tempo, the music beginning quietly and building to a grand climax. (1) Whenever possible, Dr Jackson composed whilst serving in the forces during the war – most notably the expansive Impromptu Op.5, completed in 1944 in Bari, Italy. Whilst stationed at Catterick and before being demobbed, he became assistant organist at York Minster as Bairstow was becoming very ill. In practice, he ran the whole caboodle until Bairstow’s death on May 1st 1946, when he became Organist and Master of the Choristers. Consequently Dr Jackson’s first major service was Bairstow’s funeral! Ron continued to weave the fascinating story of Dr Jackson’s long and distinguished career around some significant recordings.
