David Drinkell Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Brewer in a D is a fun setting - very Elgarian - and the Mendelssohn is likewise a good sing and a good listen. Bristol is only up the road - you should go!
Martin Cooke Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 ... absolutely... and the Vierne will be a good romp too! Didn't they have a new 32ft reed when Exeter was rebuilt? If so, you'll have a chance to hear that in this piece for sure!
AJJ Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 According to their website Michael Stoodart from Newcastle Cathedral succeeds Timothy Noon at Auckland Cathedral, New Zealand. A
David Drinkell Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Regarding Dave Harries' Exeter posting, a new edition of Brewer in D has just appeared on CPDL.
DHM Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 Follow-up to my post #46:Kris Thomsett is now Acting DoM at Newcastle, following Michael Stoddart's departure to Auckland, New Zealand (Holy Trnity Cathedral).
Barry Oakley Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 There has been quite a clear-out (or should it be exodus?) from Newcastle Cathedral in recent years. Scott Farrell and James Norrey to Rochester and now the departure of Michael Stoddart. Perhaps there's unfavourable news regarding the restoration of the pipe organ?
nigel parkin Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 I see that Exeter Cathedral are advertising for an Assistant DoM in today's church Times. Does anyone know what's happening to David Davies?
pcnd5584 Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 ... absolutely... and the Vierne will be a good romp too! Didn't they have a new 32ft reed when Exeter was rebuilt? If so, you'll have a chance to hear that in this piece for sure! The new 32ft. reed (Contra Trombone, an extension of the existing Trombone) arrived at the previous rebuild, in 1999-2000. It is a useful stop and, despite being half-length in the 32ft. octave, is a suitable foundation to the tutti. Low B is an odd, slightly unpleasant note, otherwise the stop is well worth having.

David Cynan Jones Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Gloucester Cathedral Facebook page are reporting that former Organ Scholar Ben Morris will succeed David Pipe as Assistant Director of Music at York Minster https://yorkminster.org/about-us/working-with-us/news/york-minster-announces-new-assistant-director-of-music.html
sirusnantwich Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Yes, not only former Gloucester organ scholar, but current York organ scholar just getting a leg up!
DHM Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 I was totally appalled to see this news from one of my favourite cathedrals today, where our daughter was one of their founding Girl Choristers. http://lackcompassion.blogspot.co.uk/
John Robinson Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 I was totally appalled to see this news from one of my favourite cathedrals today, where our daughter was one of their founding Girl Choristers. http://lackcompassion.blogspot.co.uk/ Did they give a reason? Does that mean that the girls' choir is being disbanded?
DHM Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 I know very little, other than what one can read on the Blogspot post and the comments on it.Rumour has it (and I can't confirm this) that something like this was mentioned in the Job Spec for the new DoM.
Vox Humana Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Rumour has it (and I can't confirm this) that something like this was mentioned in the Job Spec for the new DoM. I remember seeing the Job Spec for the DoM and someone pointing out to me a tacit implication that the organ loft personnel were being reduced from three to two. Typically such reorganisations happen due to personalities (which doesn't seem to be the case here) or money. I wonder if, in due course, they will appoint an organ scholar.
DHM Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 I think one of the many comments on Blogspot implied that they would.
David Drinkell Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 If it's not presumptuous to mention it, after thirteen years at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, St. John's, Newfoundland, I have been appointed to Christchurch Cathedral, Fredericton, New Brunswick. It's a fine, cruciform church, partly by Butterfield, modelled on Snettisham Church, Norfolk, and has a very nice four-manual Casavant.

It's a fine, cruciform church, partly by Butterfield, modelled on Snettisham Church, Norfolk, and has a very nice four-manual Casavant. And someone else that we both know, I think, David — Ian Sadler — has recently been appointed to St James' Cathedral, Toronto.
David Cynan Jones Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 Tim Parsons, Organ Scholar at Winchester appointed to succeed David Davies as Assistant DOM at Exeter. Confirmation in Dean's Newsletter at Winchester.
John Furse Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 Congrats: in a way, you’re going home to East Anglia, David ! Confusingly, the Cathedral website shows a 3-manual (acoustic guitar superimposed), whereas an interweb search provides good shots of the instrument: http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WMP86A_Christ_Church_Cathedral_Organ_Fredericton_NB. I’m sure, once you have your feet firmly under the bench, you’ll provide us here with some kind of organ tour.
Tony Newnham Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 If it's not presumptuous to mention it, after thirteen years at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, St. John's, Newfoundland, I have been appointed to Christchurch Cathedral, Fredericton, New Brunswick. It's a fine, cruciform church, partly by Butterfield, modelled on Snettisham Church, Norfolk, and has a very nice four-manual Casavant. Congratulations. Enjoy the new challenges. Every Blessing Tony
