    From Lancing College? We have a couple of threads about the college.

He's sent a huge number of choral and organ scholars across the country for many many years and his influence in church music is far greater than many people or even he would know. Do listen out for his music - his output really is special and taking a rightful place as regular additions to Cathedral Choir repertoires around the UK and abroad.

    Yeah, well, I missed the repeat this p.m., and so turned to iPlayer.
    Not so brilliant BBC - the iPlayer repeat is of the BROKEN service we heard on Wednesday!

No small part to the success of the service were the prayers which followed the powerful anthem. They were calm, considered and addressed contemporary issues with compassion and heartfelt sincerity. So unlike the offerings of 1972 heard last week. Bravo York.

    As mentioned on the 'What are you listening to now' thread, you could see why they weren't able to carry on unaccompanied.
    Having been there on Wednesday, I thought that the service came over very well indeed in the broadcast, and didn't find the organ in the psalms overly weighty: it can sound a bit 'ponderous', and I wonder if its imminent two-year refit will brighten the sound a bit.

    It happened on Wednesday, and also resulted in the cancellation that evening of Richard Pinel's organ recital.

    There's an article in today's Times about the organ in Salisbury conking out in the middle of a hymn (doesn't say when); the organist scampered down the stairs and used a grand piano. Later investigation showed a problem with the bellows caused by a lightning strike earlier in the week.
    At least it wasn't during a live R3 broadcast.

    You are right, of course, and that is how it was eventually presented.

    Given the dean's notoriety with health and safety, especially of children (remember the bellringers, and the more recent expulsion of staff from the minster school?), as pointedly mentioned in the prayers (I think before the anthem, but perhaps not), I can only hope that someone was monitoring the alarm and realised that there was a fault rather than a cause for concern.

    PS. Is it safe policy to silence fire alarms no matter how inconvenient? Everyone should have been evacuated surely until it was proved safe to return?
