Previous Event On Friday March 17th members gathered at the Double Tree Hilton (previously The Monkbar) Hotel for the YDOA Annual Dinner. We were pleased to welcome as our guest speaker Peter King, Organist Emeritus at Bath Abbey who travelled up from Exeter. Members very much enjoyed Peter’s entertaining and informative after dinner talk which included many interesting stories from his work at Bath Abbey and as a concert and ensemble performer. Particular highlights included details of his encounters with the Royal Family at Bath Abbey and his work with Simon Rattle. We were extremely grateful to Malcolm Smart who provided his “Smart Shop”. Members were able to peruse a selection of musical scores, books and recordings which were able to be purchased for a donation. The donations collected will be used to assist with the Organ Recital Series. Members were able to enjoy socialising both before and after the dinner. I am sure that those who attended are extremely grateful to everyone who worked to make the event possible. Photographs courtesy of Stephanie Holdsworth 5 4. Next Event Our event for April will be the I.A.O Yorkshire Organ Day. On the following page is a full itinerary of the day which also acts as a booking form. As explained in this months letter form the Secretary members wishing to attend will need to book a ticket. If anyone has not got round to buying a ticket they are asked to send Nigel Holdsworth a cheque as soon as possible. 11 12 5. Easter Message From the Secretary Well, the Easter holidays have started and we've broken up from school. On Monday I started to do some tidying-up work in the garden as the day was warm and dry…. It was inevitably too good to last and I turned the heating back up in the evening and put on my jersey! Looking forward to the YDOA events coming up in the next few months there really should be something for everyone, and don't forget the regular series of organ concert at St Helens, St Martins and Central Methodist will be getting under way soon. On 21st April there is the Yorkshire Organ Day and it is happening right here in York. It is a number of years since the last one which was most enjoyable (you might remember there was a visit to Everingham and back for a superb concert in St George's Church). As the Yorkshire Organ Day gives you a good deal more than our usual programme - it is a full day of events (see the advert page in the PipeLine) and we will be joined by members from other associations; you do need to buy a ticket. All members of the YDOA automatically qualify for the IAO member-discounted rate of £8. Lunch can be provided for an additional £4 - or you can bring your own should you wish. Many members and friends have already purchased their tickets. If you have got round to this yet, this is a timely reminder to send me a cheque (payable to YDOA). I look forward to seeing you on the 21st. With best wishes Nigel Easter 2018. 13 6. From the Archives by Nigel Holdsworth 14 15 7. FJ at 100– a CD recording To mark the 100th birthday of our Patron Francis Jackson, Mark Swinton a former student at the University of York and former Assistant Organist at Selby Abbey put together a CD of Francis Jackson’s music played on the organ at St Mary’s , Warwick where Mark is currently Assistant Director of Music. Mark provides us with the inspiration behind the recording. I first encountered Francis Jackson's music as a teenager, wandering into Chester Cathedral en route from school. The boy choristers were rehearsing in the Quire for Evensong, which they happened to be singing alone, and the director of music, starting them off on the canticles, declared "this is a lovely setting." I could tell why: the music was lyrical, a mixture of cheerfulness and wistfulness that said something appropriate about the text whilst suiting the timbre of treble voices. It was clearly a well-known setting to the boys at that time, as they positively relished singing it. The organ part was also striking, being no mere accompaniment but a revelling in the instrument's capabilities. A glance at the music list on the way out afterwards revealed that this setting was by "Francis Jackson." One of the choristers, a fellow King's School pupil some years below me, had already told me about having met this "really old" man, as part of an event held at the cathedral in which he had been a celebrity guest. Soon after this, I was given a CD recording including one of Jackson's organ pieces - "The Archbishop's Fanfare." (When assembling the programme for the present recording, I felt that this piece simply had to be the "curtain-raiser!") The CD notes mentioned only that Francis Jackson had been Organist at York Minster for many years; it just so happened that I was applying to study music at the University of York and upon gaining a place there, I wondered if I might meet this venerable musician, having been told that he still lived in the area and remained active as a composer and organist. I did not have a long wait: within my first week at York, he came to the university's Sir Jack Lyons Concert Hall to rehearse on the organ before recording his Organ Concerto with the University Chamber Orchestra. Invited to assist him at the console during the sessions, I witnessed not only Francis Jackson the composer but Francis Jackson the organist. Though he was then 82 years old, his command of the instrument was wonderfully natural and assured, and his stamina throughout the gruelling sessions was awe-inspiring. The experience was as moving as it was educational, not only because of his endearing personal charm but because the music itself was full of sincere emotion, a refreshing antidote to the angst or emotional sterility I experienced in most other contemporary music. Over the rest of my time in York, I had various further encounters with Francis, attending his ever-popular recitals at the Minster but also bumping into him at other musical events. My Masters year brought with it opportunities to study with him - both his own works and some of his beloved teacher, Sir Edward Bairstow. These sessions, in addition to providing useful insight, gave me access to revisions he has made to certain works since their publication. We remained in contact thereafter and I will always consider myself deeply fortunate to have known this remarkable man, as have numerous other musicians (including many far greater than myself) over so many years. One of Francis' enduring qualities is his capacity for fellowship. He recollection of faces, names and events is astonishing, his hospitality is generous and gracious, and he has happily supported causes other than his own. When I returned to York in 2007 to give a recital at the Minster, he was in the audience (though I hadn't programmed any of his music) and he accosted me at the end to present me with a signed copy of his newly-published Sixth Sonata. My reaction- "Francis, I don't know what to say!" - was met with a response that encapsulates his good nature, generosity, common sense and wonderful humour: "Well then, don't say it!" Each passing decade of his life has been marked in some way or other: a cassette recording in 1987, consisting of recordings made towards the end of his time at York Minster, celebrated his 70th birthday; a CD featuring specially-made recordings alongside further archive material in 1997 commemorated his 80th.

  • March-2019-News.Pdf
    Cathedral News March 2019 – No. 683 From: Canon Chris Palmer, Canon Chancellor Lent is desert time. Jesus went into the desert to encounter God in a deeper way – by reducing the stimuli from the outer world, to heighten his awareness of God’s presence, desire, and grace. And the desert was also a place of temptation, because it is usual when we seek to encounter God in a heightened way for the impulses that draw us away from God to become heightened too. God invites us also into the desert. At times we use the desert as a metaphor for the arid times that come upon us; but in Lent the choice for the desert is intentional – a decision for ways of being, praying, serving and so on that lead us on a truer path of following Jesus. For this reason we are using this Lent to launch the Cathedral’s Rule of Life. This is an invitation to our whole community to embrace a simple commitment of discipleship: ‘As those who share in community at Exeter Cathedral, we commit ourselves to: - worship with others, pray daily, and read the scriptures regularly - grow in faith and in love for God, and discern where God is calling us - give of our time, energy, skills, and resources in service of one another and the world - care for ourselves as beloved children of God and be accountable for living this Rule of Life’ There is more detail in a special booklet which accompanies the Rule of Life, both of which are available at the Welcome Desk, the Stewards’ Desk, and, on Sundays, from the Cathedral Community Information Table in the South Transept from 3rd March.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.
