  • The Capital Sculpture of Wells Cathedral: Masons, Patrons and The
    The Capital Sculpture of Wells Cathedral: Masons, Patrons and the Margins of English Gothic Architecture MATTHEW M. REEVE For Eric Fernie This paper considers the sculpted capitals in Wells cathedral. Although integral to the early Gothic fabric, they have hitherto eluded close examination as either a component of the building or as an important cycle of ecclesiastical imagery in their own right. Consideration of the archaeological evidence suggests that the capitals were introduced mid-way through the building campaigns and were likely the products of the cathedral’s masons rather than part of an original scheme for the cathedral as a whole. Possible sources for the images are considered. The distribution of the capitals in lay and clerical spaces of the cathedral leads to discussion of how the imagery might have been meaningful to diCerent audiences on either side of the choir screen. introduction THE capital sculpture of Wells Cathedral has the dubious honour of being one of the most frequently published but least studied image cycles in English medieval art. The capitals of the nave, transepts, and north porch of the early Gothic church are ornamented with a rich array of figural sculptures ranging from hybrid human-animals, dragons, and Old Testament prophets, to representations of the trades that inhabit stiC-leaf foliage, which were originally highlighted with paint (Figs 1, 2).1 The capitals sit upon a highly sophisticated pier design formed by a central cruciform support with triple shafts at each termination and in the angles, which oCered the possibility for a range of continuous and individual sculpted designs in the capitals above (Fig.

  • 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.

    Celebrating 100 years CHOIR SCHOOLS’ ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE 2018 Front cover photograph: Choristers representing CSA’s three founding member schools, with lay clerks and girl choristers from Salisbury Cathedral, join together to celebrate a Centenary Evensong in St Paul’s Cathedral 2018 CONFERENCE REPORT ........................................................................ s the Choir Schools’ Association (CSA) prepares to enter its second century, A it would be difficult to imagine a better location for its annual conference than New Change, London EC4, where most of this year’s sessions took place in the light-filled 21st-century surroundings of the K&L Gates law firm’s new conference rooms, with their stunning views of St Paul’s Cathedral and its Choir School over the road. One hundred years ago, the then headmaster of St Paul’s Cathedral Choir School, Reverend R H Couchman, joined his colleagues from King’s College School, Cambridge and Westminster Abbey Choir School to consider the sustainability of choir schools in the light of rigorous inspections of independent schools and regulations governing the employment of children being introduced under the terms of the Fisher Education Act. Although cathedral choristers were quickly exempted from the new employment legislation, the meeting led to the formation of the CSA, and Couchman was its honorary secretary until his retirement in 1937. He, more than anyone, ensured that it developed strongly, wrote Alan Mould, former headmaster of St John’s College School, Cambridge, in The English

Beliveau Submitted to the Department of Architecture on May 6, 1988 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture. ABSTRACT Architecture can influence or be influenced by its environment. Because this is so, buildings often reflect the beliefs, understandings, or prejudices of a society. Architecture can also help to shape society's understanding of the institutions it houses. The traditional forms of the Catholic Church in this country have followed society's expectations of this facility. To date, there have been few significant challenges to this image. Through the transformation of this historic and often inappropriate form, the architecture can begin to influence both the Church's understanding of itself and its environs, and society's impression of this community.

  • Wells Cathedral, but ‘We Had a Very Listed Building Control
    WELLS 01 PROJECT ARCHITECT: CATHEDRAL Martin Stancliffe, New entry cloister, Education and Music Purcell Miller Tritton Resource Centre, chapter house CATHEDRAL ARCHITECT: undercroft, works yard Peter Bird In some ways, the great medieval cathedrals are dinosaurs: creations of another era, fascinating, impressive and inspiring – but ill-equipped for the demands of the twenty-first century. Yet their continued significance is not to be doubted. Wells attracts some 470,000 visitors a year,170,000 of whom attend one of the 1,730 services, concerts, educational visits and other events organised by the cathedral. That’s almost five events a day, each with its own logistical demands, each attracting a different public. So it is easy to understand why the chapter at Wells had, by the late 1990s, begun to feel as if they were reaching a kind of evolutionary crossroads. There was no safe accommodation for visiting school groups, no disabled access to many areas of the cathedral church itself, and no covered route to the visitors’ toilets. The cathedral shop and restaurant occupied one walk of the medieval cloister; part of the Song School filled another. Girl choristers practised in the chapter house undercroft, which had otherwise become a large storeroom; choirs of both sexes robed here, too. Child protection legislation and the Disability Discrimination Act increased the imperative for change. The status quo was untenable. It took some time for the right solution to emerge. The first scheme was opposed by several consultees. It took all the negotiation skills of the cathedral authorities and planning advisors, including English Heritage and the CFCE, to arrive at the eventual answer – a design which balanced the building’s extraordinary significance with the needs of modern users and which was capable of attracting consent and funding.

  • Wells Cathedral, Font
    WELLS cathedral, Somerset. At Wells cathedral there is, in the south transept, a rare survivor, an Anglo-Saxon font, which was moved from the old cathedral to the new cathedral which was commenced c.1170. A background history. The church of St Andrew at Wells is reputed to have been founded in the early eighth century, by Ine, king of Wessex; but little is known of its history in the eighth and ninth centuries. Wells was known as Fontinetum in the Anglo-Saxon period. This may be a survival from the Roman name, which derives from a series of springs rising to the E of the present cathedral – one of which was dedicated to St. Andrew by the C8. The site has a complex history: sometime in the Roman period a mausoleum with a subterranean burial chamber was constructed 50m to the W of this well. Primary interments were placed into the chamber, and secondary burials were placed on the floor at ground level. In the C8 or sometime before, Christian burials were being made to the W of the structure. Later, the Roman mausoleum was dismantled and the primary burials removed, while the secondary burials were shifted into the subterranean chamber, and the remains of the structure were levelled, over which a chapel was built that contained the graves of three adults and two children, cut through the floor. To the W of this structure a nave was added, and the chapel dedicated to St Mary the Virgin. The Anglo-Saxon minster of St Andrew was built to the immediate W by 776, aligned to the chapel of St.

  • The Developing Female Chorister Voice: Case-Study Evidence of Musical Development
    The developing female chorister voice: case-study evidence of musical development David M Howard(1), Graham F Welch(2), Evangelos Himonides(2) and Matthew Owens(3) (1) Department of Electronic Engineering, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK (2)UCL Institute of Education, University College London, UK (3) Organist and Master of the Choristers of Wells Cathedral, UK Abstract The human singing voice changes throughout the lifespan and there are gender- specific variations that need to be taken into account. Life changes in terms of voice are different for females and males and this paper concentrates on the female singing voice in the context of choral singing. Case-study data from three choristers are presented relating to the changing female voice during puberty as part of a longitudinal study of female choristers in a major English Cathedral Choir School. In addition, discussion is presented on important considerations with respect to the female choral singing voice with a particular focus on specific choral aspects during rehearsals and performance. Keywords: Singing, choral, performance, chorister, girls Introduction Singing is something that provides great pleasure and satisfaction to many people, whether they sing in the privacy of their own home, sing in a choir or sing individually in public audiences [cf 1, 2]. For many such singers, singing is simply something that they can do without necessarily realising that, with some added knowledge, vocal improvements could probably be made quite readily, such as through the application of established craft knowledge and research evidence [e.g. 3, 4]. Our understanding of the way in which the human voice works in terms of its underlying anatomy and physiology, how best to ‘play’ the voice as an ‘instrument and the nature of the resulting acoustic output, has moved on hugely over the last 20– 30 years.
