Guest Barry Williams Report post Posted February 11, 2008 I think he means: Robert Sharpe (presently at Truro) is going to be Director of Music at York Minster. P. Sorry. It was a long day in court and I am rather tired! Mea culpa. I am pleased to note that the meaning was not occluded by the terminological inaccuracies.

Sadly, the clergy seem to be entrenched. MM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly, the clergy seem to be entrenched. MM I'm not sure what news you are awaiting from All Saints' Margaret Street. Perhaps this refers to the appointment of the new Associate Director of Music to replace Andrew Arthur? That appointment was annouced several weeks ago and, per their Parish Magazine is Henry Parkes.

Vox Humana 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2008 I hate being provocative , but I wonder if anyone can tell me if the flow of organists out of the country during the current reformation, is any greater or lesser than the last time around? Greater. I can't think of any cases of organists leaving the country during the last Reformation. Peter Philips left well into Elizabeth's reign by which time the Reformation was a fait accompli (if a decidedly uncomfortable one for the Catholics). Bull's departure wasn't until 1613 and had nothing to do with religion - he fled for altogether more lurid reasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
