John Furse 0 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 That is what I, too, have been informed. Subsequent to his accident and other serious health issues last year, these are things which cannot be taken lightly. Despite all this, and once out of intensive care and back at the helm, I was told he did not miss a single practice with the boys. Commitment and dedication, indeed. He will need to pace himself, so that he returns fit to take up the reigns as he draws towards the end of his distinguished tenure. Link to post Share on other sites

Choir Man 0 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 The complete sentence is: "They will be able to demonstrate their passion for the choral tradition of the Church of England and a commitment to explore new ways of developing that tradition for future generations." The website contains a detailed application pack which expands somewhat on the above. Having read it I would suggest that the 'new ways' are about ensuring a supply of choristers, providing equal opportunities for girls and engagement with the local community. Much the same challenges as the church in general faces in this modern world. Link to post Share on other sites

I hear his work at Romsey Abbey was held in high regard. I don't know the Romsey set up at all and have never heard any of the choirs, but the whole musical thing there looked astonishingly good - just what any thinking church would want to encourage and a great example of music being central to church life. Great to see... and to be part of, I imagine! Link to post Share on other sites
