  1. Just to let you know that the RSCM for whom I'm the Northern Regional coordinator, is running a 'which hymnbook

    should I choose?' at St Paul's, Sale, M33 7YA on Thursday 25th February 2016 starting at 7.30pm

     

    It will be run by Rev. Helen Bent - head of Ministerial Training at the RSCM

  2. David hi

    Whitlock sonata was a memorable piece played by John

    I was talking to Andrew Reid earlier this evening about John and Andrew said this was one of the best performances of this piece he had heard when John played it at Westminster Cathedral and Andrew commented that John used no generals and just went up and down the divisionals as necessary

  3. I knew John so well this is a great overwhelming shock

    I was at Catz the same time as he was at Johns

    We had some great laughs together one of which was playing football against the Kings and John's choral scholars we always won

     

    RIP Scotty

  4. Organ Recital given by SIMON RUSSELL (Nantwich Parish Church) on Tuesday 10th June 2014 starting 1310. Retiring Collection.

     

    Programme as follows:

     

     

    Fanfare – John Cook

    Cornet Voluntary – John Travers (1703-1758)

    Choral No 1 in E – Cesar Franck

    Air and Gavotte – Samuel Wesley

    Toccata-Prelude on the Plain-Song, ‘Pange lingua’ – Edward C. Bairstow

    Prelude on the Welsh Hymn Tune ‘Rhosymedre’ – Ralph Vaughan Williams

    Paean (no 6 of 6 pieces) – Herbert Howells

  5. Yes - I think half of the fun of playing the Crucifixion these days is utilising just these 'non run-of-the-mill' stops. We did it last year at Nantwich and time spent registrating it beforehand was enjoyable and appreciated by singers and audience alike. Comments like 'we've never heard it make those sounds' before, were intensely satisfying. It was a good performance as well.

     

    On a side issue, Maunder's 'Olivet to Calvary' seems to be THE thing to perform in Cheshire just at the moment'
