DouglasCorr Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 Yes, well observed. But is Ysenda Maxtone Graham a real person's name? A clever musical anagram perhaps "eden hymn song ...?" er... now I'm stuck???

John Robinson Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 An excellent article. As for 'swooning', perhaps the likes of Jane Parker-Smith! As for male organists, shall we say I respect them highly and envy their talents and abilities.
David Drinkell Posted April 8, 2012 Author Posted April 8, 2012 She also wrote, a few years ago, an amusing and perceptive book about the Church of England called' The Church Hesitant'.
