Fr Anthony was for a short time a resident of the retired priests’ accommodation in the newly-refurbished Cathedral House. He was a musician himself, having directed the music at the English College in Rome, and at St Bede’s College in Manchester, and we often chatted after Mass on a Sunday about the day’s music. For his funeral Masses we had a mix of new and (mainly) old, and choral and (mainly) congregational. Raising a choir for weekday services in August is something of a challenge, and this was as much the explanation for the simple, chant-based musical fare as the inkling that that might have been Fr Anthony’s preference. I thought we did a good job of bringing out the noble simplicity of the Roman Rite.
