  • An Anglican Heritage in Transition: an Examination of the Role and Function of Traditional English Church Music in Four Anglican Parishes on the Witwatersrand
    AN ANGLICAN HERITAGE IN TRANSITION: AN EXAMINATION OF THE ROLE AND FUNCTION OF TRADITIONAL ENGLISH CHURCH MUSIC IN FOUR ANGLICAN PARISHES ON THE WITWATERSRAND By Malcolm Chalmers Research Report submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Heritage Studies) By Coursework and research Report Supervisor: Paul Germond Johannesburg February 2007 DECLARATION I declare that this research report is my own, unaided work. It is being submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Master of Arts (Coursework and Research Report) in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted for any degree or examination in any other university ____________________________________________ Malcolm Chalmers _______________ day of ______________________ 2007 i ABSTRACT This study examines an aspect of Anglican Church heritage (in a state of transition in South Africa) namely, the role and function of traditional English Church Music in a selected number of parishes on the Witwatersrand. Some musicians within the church see this heritage as being under threat, and with the ever-growing support for gospel and traditional African music in a number of former "white" parishes, not to mention the ongoing interest in so-called charismatic or contemporary music, there seems to be a concern that the style of music, as practised for centuries in the liturgy of the Anglican Church, may well be in decay. Thus, the preservation of a heritage such as this, surrounded by so many differing and varied cultural influences perhaps requires a new focus and prominence within the local Anglican Church community.

  • Chapter 17 – the Anglican Church
    Chapter 17 – The Anglican Church I was born and bred into the Anglican Church, and baptised (according to local custom) three months after birth, in St Saviour’s Church, Claremont in the March of ’41. Having been dutifully dragged to church “kicking and screaming” by my Mom and Dad, I refused to become a server, let alone sing in the choir. In 1954, I was confirmed by Archibald Cullen (again if you paying attention mentioned in my chapter of high school and St Pauls), After leaving school, where (as you remember) we were required to go to church twice a Sunday and Compline on a Wednesday, I for some strange reason did not rebel against religion (as so many people do), but continued to be a passive by-stander. A certain amount of this overlaps with previous chapters and so I will not bore you with the details again. I was always at loggerheads with the church – the Anglican Church. During my ministry, I had many an occasion to write to Bishops, regaling my complaints or requests. Bear in mind, that up to the early 2000’s, there was no email. But ‘snail mail’ was still working. On one occasion, I was in the vestry at Kempton Park for a confirmation, and Bishop Leslie Stradling was there. He handed me a draft copy of the new liturgy which was in the process of being reviewed. Horace Wilson, Rector of Vereeniging, grabbed it out of my hand and to my amazement uttered heresy! Well, Leslie in his calm manner just said “By whose standards Horace” The incident reminded me of the heresy of Arianism in the early 4th century, which denied the divinity of Our Lord, and Athanasius had to fight against them, when he was a Bishop, and who was exiled six times before he managed to enlist the majority at the Council of Nicaea and the Nicene Creed was formulated.
