I would too, and since the principal function of many organs is for accompanimental purposes both that which (ie the music) and those whom (ie the singers) they accompany would seem sufficiently connected to this forum to be discussed here. I do not see why the moderators would object unless the discussion gets too heated.

Thanks for your responses. I'll start a new thread, to which I hope Richard will contribute too... Maybe we can move this hoary old debate on a bit, who knows - I certainly hope we can avoid name calling. It will have some tangential reference to organ sound I think but may move away from it from time to time.

Personally (and so long as the Moderators do not object) I would be very interested indeed to read a discussion on this subject. How about a new thread on the General Discussion forum?

How does one ask the moderators such a question? S

I haven't hear of it either, but gather there is a delightful "easy" version for those cathedral organists who train their choirs as badly as they untrain their choristers!!

Richard - a diffident first post from a new member. I've followed with considerable interest your comments about current methods of chorister training, here and also in Choir and Organ, for example. This is of course an organ discussion board and I wouldn't dream of cluttering it up with off-thread discussion (unless others would find it interesting to read it as well), but there's an interesting exchange of views to be had on this subject, which is a complex one. Might such a discussion interest you? I'm Organist of a large red brick cathedral in the South of England which was completed in 1961 so I shouldn't be too hard to track down via the cathedral website..... Best wishes.
