<p>One last Sunday under my direction, before calling time on twenty-three years of the unalloyed privilege of leading the music here. We ended with two pieces that felt special to me: one last chance to sing a new song to the Lord, in a setting of one of today’s Communion antiphons, with verses from psalm 33(34); and then an old warhorse of a hymn that’s been one of our signature tunes right since the beginning. I’ll miss the place, and its wonderful people.</p>Martin Barryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04127666691711536810noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559372680160387533.post-84719516442523212372018-07-25T19:44:00.000+01:002018-07-25T19:44:23.928+01:00Ordination to the Priesthood of Callum Brown<h3>Saturday, 21 July 2018</h3>

<p>For the Kiss of Peace – a lengthy rite in which the new priest is greeted by all the other priests present – we spun out the Duruflé by alternating the antiphon with chant verses not set by the composer. It was a haunting mixture, and timed to perfection. Before that, we raised the roof with the Gospel Acclamation, which struck exactly the right note of power and drama for a grand gathering of the diocese for a truly special event.</p>Martin Barryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04127666691711536810noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559372680160387533.post-63883829146915760742018-07-25T18:58:00.000+01:002018-07-25T18:58:05.480+01:0015th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year B, 2018)<h3>Sunday, 15 July 2018</h3>

<p>The Mass for Musicians came at the end of a magnificent training day for the musicians of the Diocese, linked to the <i>Hope in the Future</i> initiative. The Cathedral Centre was packed to overflowing, for a day of talks and workshops (led by Daniel Bath, Nick Baty, Anthony Hunt and yours truly), ending in a Mass for all the participants. The packed timetable had left us with very little rehearsal time before Mass, but we managed to master everything, from Tchaikovsky to CJM’s <i>Taste and See</i>, which at one point involved sixteen voice parts.</p>
<p>The music was all chosen to fit the texts of today’s Mass, which included the angels crying <i>Holy, Holy</i> in Isaiah (for which the Tchaikovsky fitted like a glove), and <i>everything now hidden will be made clear</i> from chapter 10 of Matthew. Paul Wellicome’s boisterous psalm setting might have been written for the occasion, and <i>taste and see</i> was the Communion antiphon.</p>
<p>The day itself felt as though it met a huge need, and the feedback afterwards was certainly appreciative. I hope there are many more such days to come.</p>Martin Barryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04127666691711536810noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559372680160387533.post-91328888405168042102018-07-21T18:37:00.000+01:002018-07-21T18:37:24.597+01:0014th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year B, 2018)<h3>Sunday, 8 July 2018</h3>

The little-known setting of <i>Tantum Ergo</i> by Fauré has a charming melody, sung first by a soloist and then taken up in the second verse by the full choir. The solo was beautifully executed by choral scholar Hana Ilčić.</p>Martin Barryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04127666691711536810noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559372680160387533.post-23577849745548544432018-07-21T17:58:00.000+01:002018-07-21T17:58:26.054+01:00Trinity Sunday (Year B, 2018)<h3>Sunday, 27 May 2018</h3>

<P>No doubt about it, the Holy Spirit had a (playful) hand in my choice of music for tonight’s thoughtful commemoration of Manchester’s tragedy and resilience. It took someone else to point out to me the bee theme: <i>God be in my head</i>, <i>Do not be afraid</i>, <i>Thine be the glory</i> and (cough) <i><b>Be</b>cause the Lord is my shepherd</i>. (Yes, yes, and Memorial Acclamation B.) The whole event was reflective and prayerful, concluding (as we did last year) with a hymn celebrating Christ’s triumph over death.</p>

<p>The Cathedral Sunday evening Mass moved to Saturday evening a few months ago, and it was decided to follow the same pattern of a Vigil Mass on feast days too. Tonight was the first time the choir slotted into this new regime. With Mass starting at 5.30 pm, there was no time for more than a few minutes’ preparation, but the small band of singers (I think there were seven of us) had no trouble giving an exuberant rendition of the opening section for five voices of Byrd’s setting of the Introit. As well as that, we had a first outing for Philip Stopford’s lovely reworking of Gerald Markland’s hymn text.</p>
<p>It’s always fun to sing in the Cathedral with a very small congregation, so tonight fitted the bill. I kept the music list fairly short, but with our usual trademark mix of old and new.</p>

<p>Tonight we had three adult Baptisms including, delightfully, one of our current choral scholars. We also had all seven Old Testament readings, for the first time in the twenty-eight years I’ve been attending the Cathedral. But I have to say I didn’t notice the time passing. We got through it all in a jam-packed two and a half hours, anyway.</p>Martin Barryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04127666691711536810noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559372680160387533.post-52849731858832294602018-05-03T21:38:00.001+01:002018-05-03T21:38:53.835+01:00Office of Readings and Morning Prayer (Holy Saturday, 2018)Martin Barryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04127666691711536810noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7559372680160387533.post-57732979162672112602018-05-03T21:37:00.001+01:002018-05-03T21:37:45.959+01:00Celebration of the Lord’s Passion (Good Friday, 2018)<h3>30 March 2018</h3>
