We hope your time here proves to be stimulating, enjoyable, and refreshing as we consider, from various perspectives, the lives and work of musicians who have 17.30 Evensong Cathedral Quire composed, performed, and drunk in this city, this cathedral, and other such places like them over the 18.30 Keynote Presentation Clagett Auditorium, Cathedral Lodge last few centuries. 19.30 Conference Dinner Refectory, Cathedral Lodge The subtitle of our Conference — “from the Chapel to the Tavern”— was inspired by a phrase from Thomas Browne in his inventive epistolary exchange between Henry Purcell and John Blow, “Letters from the Dead to the Living, and from the Living to the Dead” of 1720. The conceit is that messages may be exchanged between this world and the afterlife, and Purcell had written to his old friend Wednesday 21 June with an account of how things are in “these infernal Shades” which is, apparently, a riotously musical 09.00 Poster presentations/drinks Canterbury Christ Church University place: “all the year round the whole Dominion is like a Bartholomew Fair.” Blow’s reply claims that nothing has changed: “You know men of our profession hang between the Church and the Play- 10.00 Session 1: Music and Place Canterbury Christ Church University house, as Mahomet’s Tomb does between the two Load stones, and must equally incline to both, 12.30 Lunch Canterbury Christ Church University because by both we are equally supported.” It seemed to us that this somewhat stereotypical picture merits closer scrutiny and, by the looks of it, this Conference is going to do that rather well. 14.00 Session 2: Personalities Canterbury Christ Church University 17.00 Tea and Coffee Canterbury Christ Church University We have tried to create a few days in which several things can happen: scholars share their work; the cathedral shares its space and its music (some directly relevant to the Conference); and the sacred and 17.30 Evensong Cathedral Quire the secular rub shoulders as companionably as they did for our musical forbears in times gone by. 18.45 Acoustic Exploration of Cathedral spaces Cathedral, with Canon Christopher Irvine With all best wishes, The Conference Committee Thursday 22 June 09.00 Poster presentations/drinks Canterbury Christ Church University 10.00 Session 3: Music and Identity Canterbury Christ Church University 12.30 Lunch Canterbury Christ Church University 14.00 Open Forum Canterbury Christ Church University Conference Committee: 15.30 Library Tour Cathedral Canon Christopher Irvine 16.30 Tea and Coffee Chapter House/Herb Garden, Cathedral Dr David Newsholme 17.30 Evensong Cathedral Quire Chris Price 19.00 An Evening with the Canterbury Catch Club The Parrot, St Radigunds, Canterbury Thanks to: Friday 23 June The Dean and Chapter of Canterbury Cathedral 09.00 Session 4: Repertoire I Canterbury Christ Church University The Friends of Cathedral Music 10.30 Poster presentations/drinks Canterbury Christ Church University Cressida Williams and the staff of the Cathedral Library and Archives 11.00 Session 5: Repertoire II Canterbury Christ Church University Sarah Beaglehole and the Events Team at Canterbury Christ Church University 13.00 Lunch and Farewell Deesons, Sun St., Canterbury Our Conference Administrators: Myfanwy Meyer-Dinkgrafe and Richard Blake | 4 5 | | 6 To St Gregory’s Centre for Music - 2 minutes walk* CAMPUS MAP Lanfranc Halls of Residence - 6 minutes walk* North Holmes Road, Canterbury, Kent GATE 1 N GATE 2 P Goods * Walking times are approximate inwards RAMSEY (R) NORT DESIGNATED H SMOKING THORNE (TH) INVICTA (I) JOHNSON (J) AREA RAMSEY (R) DESIGNATED SMOKING AREA GATE 3 JUBILEE ORCHARD SOMERVILLE (S) H FYNDEN (FY) P OLMES POSTERN

  • Why Do Singers Sing in the Way They
    Why do singers sing in the way they do? Why, for example, is western classical singing so different from pop singing? How is it that Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe could sing together? These are the kinds of questions which John Potter, a singer of international repute and himself the master of many styles, poses in this fascinating book, which is effectively a history of singing style. He finds the reasons to be primarily ideological rather than specifically musical. His book identifies particular historical 'moments of change' in singing technique and style, and relates these to a three-stage theory of style based on the relationship of singing to text. There is a substantial section on meaning in singing, and a discussion of how the transmission of meaning is enabled or inhibited by different varieties of style or technique.

  • Lay Clerkships at Bristol Cathedral
    Bristol Cathedral Choir L A Y C L E R K S Revised April 2019, TP Lay Clerkships at Bristol Cathedral Bristol Cathedral is one of the city’s most beautiful buildings, containing architecture from the 12th century (most famously in the stunning Chapter House) right through to the 19th (the Nave). It has perfect acoustics for the singing of choral music and is possessed of one of the finest Edwardian Cathedral Organs in the country (built in 1907 by the prestigious firm of J W Walker, and completely restored in 1990). Further information about the Cathedral and its life can be found by visiting bristol-cathedral.co.uk There has been a choir at Bristol Cathedral since its foundation in 1542, and probably since the days of the Augustinians (from 1140). Services are sung six times a week during term time by either the Cathedral Choir (Lay Clerks & Choral Scholars and boys/girls) or the Cathedral Consort. The Choir The Cathedral Choir consists of up to 28 choristers (14 boys and 14 girls), probationary choristers, six Lay Clerks, and four Choral Scholars. The Cathedral Choir encourages singers from the University of Bristol and UWE through the Choral Scholarship scheme. The current pattern for sung worship in the Cathedral (as it affects Lay Clerks) is as follows: Monday, Tuesday rehearsal (4.45pm) for Evensong (5.15 pm) sung by the full Choir Friday rehearsal (4.45pm) for Evensong (5.15pm) sung by the Lay Clerks Saturday rehearsal (2.30pm) for Evensong (3.30pm) sung by the full Choir. There is a Saturday off once a month.

  • Lay Clerk and Director of the Scholars
    Principal Lay Clerk and Director of the Cathedral Scholars St Mary’s Cathedral, Sydney Applications are invited for the position of Principal Lay Clerk and Director of the Cathedral Scholars at St Mary’s Cathedral. This part-time role represents a unique opportunity for an outstanding singer and educator to further their career and experience whilst working as part of a dynamic team at this national centre of liturgical and musical excellence. The position is currently available. Introduction St Mary’s Cathedral is the Mother Church of Australian Catholicism, and the seat of the Archbishop of Sydney. The Cathedral plays a vital role in the spiritual and cultural life of Sydney, as well as Australia in general. The Cathedral Choir is Australia’s oldest continuing musical organisation and is integral to the Cathedral’s life and worship. Continuing support from successive Archbishops has provided for a professional music foundation encompassing 24 boy choristers who are educated at the Cathedral’s on-site (non-boarding) Choir School, 12 lay clerks who are professional singers, a specialised program for former choristers whose voices have changed (the Cathedral Scholars), and an adult volunteer choir. Every week during school term time there are at least nine choral services (Mass and Vespers) sung by the Cathedral Choir (or part thereof), with an additional five non-choral services staffed by a cantor and organist. The Cathedral Music Department operates an extensive program, providing and facilitating music for all services and events that take place in the Cathedral. Music at St Mary’s Cathedral The Choir of St Mary’s Cathedral traces its origins to the very earliest days of the colony, and since 1955, consistent with the Benedictine English tradition from which the Cathedral’s founders came, the Choir has been a male-voice liturgical choir.
