Sub Organist Sub Organist The Chapter of St Paul’s Cathedral wish to appoint a Sub Organist, following the appointment of Timothy Wakerell as Assistant Organist at New College, Oxford. This full-time post presents an exciting opportunity to an outstanding performer who wishes to pursue a career in church music. The Sub Organist is part of a team of five in the Music Department of St Paul’s, and plays a full part in the religious and musical activities of the Cathedral, also contributing to its wider outreach and mission. The post will be available from the beginning of October 2014. GENERAL INFORMATION History and Background A Cathedral dedicated to St Paul has overlooked the City of London since 604 AD and the current Cathedral was built between 1675 and 1710 by Sir Christopher Wren. As the Cathedral of the capital city, St Paul’s is often the spiritual focus for the nation, holding events of national importance as well as serving as a busy, working church. This ancient heritage and purpose is enriched by the requirement in today’s society to engage with various constituencies as the Cathedral fulfils its mission. These may be characterised as (a) the Bishop and Diocese of London, (b) the City of London as one of the world’s business and financial centres (c) the United Kingdom as the Cathedral fulfils a national and state role and (d) the international context as it becomes an increasingly important icon of faith overseas. For further information on St Paul’s Cathedral please visit www.stpauls.co.uk. The Vision of the Cathedral Church of St Paul in London: St Paul’s Cathedral seeks to enable people in all their diversity to encounter the transforming presence of God in Jesus Christ. As a community of worshippers, staff and volunteers we work with care and imagination to be a centre for welcome, worship and learning which inspires successive generations to engage with the richness of the Christian faith and its heritage. We aim to do this with confidence, compassion and creativity, promoting dignity and justice for everyone. We work with the Bishop and Diocese of London and the wider church, as a spiritual focus for London, the nation and the world. Our Values: Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control; To uphold integrity, honesty and openness in what we do; To aim for the highest possible standards in everything we do, acknowledging that we cannot do everything; To make our operations as just and as sustainable as we can; To foster and encourage diversity, being inclusive and challenging to ourselves as well as others. MUSIC AT ST PAUL’S There has been a choir of Boy Choristers and Gentlemen at St Paul's Cathedral for over nine centuries. The structure of the present choir, consisting of twenty two singing boys, seven probationers and twelve Vicars Choral, was established in the last century when Sir John Stainer was the Cathedral Organist. In addition to providing music for the daily liturgical life of the Cathedral, the choir also enjoys a world-wide reputation through its many recordings, broadcasts and tours. Recent high profile occasions for the choir and organists have included the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty The Queen (2012), and the funeral of Baroness Thatcher (2013). The choristers (together with non-chorister day children) attend the Cathedral School, situated east of the Cathedral on New Change. The current music staff at the Cathedral are as follows: Andrew Carwood (Director of Music) Simon Johnson (Organist & Assistant Director of Music) Tim Wakerell (Sub-Organist, leaving in October 2014) Richard Moore (Organ Scholar – leaving in August 2014, to be replaced by Rachel Mahon, currently Organ Scholar at Truro Cathedral) Angela Palotai (PA to the Director of Music) The Precentor, Canon Michael Hampel, is the member of Chapter directly responsible for the work of the Music Department. The present pattern of regular choral worship at St Paul’s encompasses Mattins, Eucharist, and Evensong on Sunday, together with Evensong on every weekday. The Christian year provides the framework for additional liturgical activities in which the choir and the organists play an essential part, together with a wide range of national and city services and events on a regular and an occasional basis. In addition to the music for services, the Music Department runs a year-long programme of concerts and organ recitals. These include a series of celebrity organ recitals through the summer months, a regular weekend organ recital, informal lunchtime concerts (on weekdays) given by unaccompanied choirs, a series of meditations in Holy Week and performances (with orchestra) of Handel’s Messiah in Advent and a Bach Passion before Easter. Outside of the regular pattern of worship and events, forthcoming projects include tours of the United States of America in 2015 and 2018, and further recordings on the Hyperion label. An organ outreach project is likely to be started later this year which will be the pilot scheme for a more extensive outreach project in the future. THE ORGANS The Cathedral has five pipe-organs. The Grand Organ is generally considered to be one of the finest instruments in the world. It began life in 1694, when ‘Father’ Bernard Smith built an organ that occupied a screen in the Quire. In 1872, ‘Father’ Henry Willis completed what was essentially a new instrument for the Cathedral. The original Wren case was divided in half, modified, and placed against the pillars supporting the Dome on either side of the Quire, where it remains today. Numerous additions and alterations were made to this instrument throughout the first two-thirds of the twentieth-century, particularly by Henry Willis III. From 1972-77 N.P. Mander Ltd reconstructed the whole of the organ, preserving and returning the character of Father Willis’ organ in the Chancel, whilst also making it more versatile with the provision of a new North Choir division. The present incarnation of the Dome and West divisions also dates from then and they provide muscular support in the accompaniment of congregations, together with a number of powerful solo reed stops for dramatic effects. With careful use, the Dome Organ can also supplement the resources of the Chancel Organ in repertoire, assisting the instrument’s westward projection. In 2007-08 the organ was completely restored by Mander Organs Ltd, consolidating the work of 1972-77, but also replacing the Dome reeds and providing a second, mobile console for use under the Dome (identical to the static Quire console). There are two other organs that are used regularly on the Cathedral floor. The ‘Willis on Wheels’, a two-manual mobile organ built by Henry Willis in 1881, is a masterpiece of its time. There is also a Continuo Organ built in 1997 by Kenneth Tickell. In the crypt, an outstanding new two-manual organ by William Drake that takes its inspiration from English instruments of the 18th century has recently been installed in St Faith’s Chapel (also known as the OBE Chapel). There is also a two-manual practice organ by Robin Jennings available for regular use by the organists in the Choir Practice Room.

  • REACHING out a Celebration of the Work of the Choir Schools’ Association
    REACHING OUT A celebration of the work of the Choir Schools’ Association The Choir Schools’ Association represents 46 schools attached to cathedrals, churches and college chapels educating some 25,000 children. A further 13 cathedral foundations, who draw their choristers from local schools, hold associate membership. In total CSA members look after nearly 1700 boy and girl choristers. Some schools cater for children up to 13. Others are junior schools attached to senior schools through to 18. Many are Church of England but the Roman Catholic, Scottish and Welsh churches are all represented. Most choir schools are independent but five of the country’s finest maintained schools are CSA members. Being a chorister is a huge commitment for children and parents alike. In exchange for their singing they receive an excellent musical training and first-class academic and all-round education. They acquire self- discipline and a passion for music which stay with them for the rest of their lives.

  • Truro Cathedral Baptistery
    Truro Cathedral Baptistery By Michael Swift, Canon Philip Lambert and Judith Whitehouse OCCASIONAL MONOGRAPH No.3 February 2014 THE ICONOGRAPHY OF THE BAPTISTERY. The baptistery area in this monograph is defined as the baptistery itself AND the adjoining Chapel of Saint Samson and Saint Boniface. This Chapel was created in the 1930’s from what was termed by Pearson and Benson ‘the baptistery vestibule’. This monograph shows how the iconography of these two areas must be treated as a whole, as it was originally intended by Benson and Mason. All the window schemes in Truro Cathedral complement and develop the relationship between liturgical and architectural spaces, whilst each sequence of windows presents a multi-layered narrative on the profoundest theological themes. The iconography of the windows of the baptistery is a reflection on the themes of Baptism and of Christian Mission. Between 1887 and 1904 the main cathedral entrance was through the south transept door. The baptistery vestibule therefore would have been reached by immediately turning left on entering the south transept door, up a flight of three steps, across the vestibule, with a further set of steps leading directly to the baptistery proper (mirroring the ascending approach to the quire and sanctuary). Since the 1930s however, the vestibule and the baptistery itself are entered directly from the south nave aisle, and the subtle links between the iconography of the windows in the two areas, the liturgy of the baptismal service, and the spatial dimension of a progression through ever smaller and more intimate spaces has been lost for many decades.

A familiar story for many of an injured man helped not by those who could and should have, but rather a stranger, an alien, someone despised by those who thought themselves to be far superior to this foreigner. Over the last few weeks our lives (well certainly mine) have been dominated by the EU referendum and it’s consequences; Terrorist attacks; The Chilcot enquiry; Street violence; Paedophiles; Untimely illness and death; Shootings; Babies mur- dered; Abuse; and much closer to home a Polish family in Plymouth targeted by race- hate arsonists.
