Guest Roffensis Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Although not really the place to do this, may I be excused please for asking if anyone has a copy of ACA 502 Geoffrey Bush- "Anthems, Canticles, Carols and the Trumpet Tune etc " Canterbury Cathedral Choir/Allan Wicks/David Flood. It's a vinyl LP, and anyone who would sell me a copy I would transfer it to CD for them. I have a very high end turntable. Thanks! R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Kemp Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 If all alse fails try Colin Brownlee on 0191 236 9808. He almost certainly will have a copy and will be able to provide you with what you want. Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have everything of Canterbury except this, including some unique one off acetates of the choir. Hopefully some day...... I may simply have to advertise.

Malcolm Kemp Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Have you also got (available from the Canterbury Cathedral on-line gift shop) the DVDs of a series of programmes that ITV did about Canterbury Cathedral) a couple of years ago? Well worth having. A lot about the choir and music, and of particular interest to me because, at that time, one of the lay-clerks was a former chorister of mine and the son of one of the present members of my choir. There is a very early recording of the Canterbury choir singing (I think) the Vaughan Williams Mass (under Campbell?) in which the treble soloist became variously an atheist, a lawyer and a house drummer at Ronnie Scott's. He is now am honorary curate at one of Brighton's more famous Anglo Catholic churches (and an extremely fine jazz drummer). Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canterbury did and still does excellent stuff, IMHO as good as any Cathedral Choir. It's a great shame (in two senses of the word) that more has not been ressiued on CD. Another two recordings which I have never tracked down (among many more that I have ) are two BBC broadcasts of Evensong in the 70s. One they did Dyson in D, the other Wood in F. Both I heard but was unable to record then, as only a small boy. They reside in my head somewhat!! Again you would think someone did record them out there though. The Vaughan Williams/Britten LP was indeed done under the reign of Campbell. R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
