MUSIC NOTES
Percy Whitlock (1903-1946) is not a name to fall easily from the lips of non-organists. In fact, for several decades after his death he was barely known to anyone. Whitlock worked as an organist at Rochester Cathedral and St. Stephen’s, Bournemouth in England during the 1920’s-1930’s, and after 1935 worked full-time for the Pavilion in Bournemouth. He composed quite a lot of music for organ and choir, much of which is rarely heard now – but there are gems among his compositions, many of which hold up very well against his more well-known contemporaries, including Ralph Vaughan Williams, one of Whitlock’s teachers. Percy Whitlock was born on this date (June 1) in 1903.
William Croft (1678-1727) was a distinguished organist in the late 17th and early 18th century England, He succeeded John Blow ( composer of our anthem 2 weeks ago) as organist of Westminster Abbey, and is now best known as the composer of the Funeral Sentences.

SUMMER CHOIR
We’d like to try something new and different during the summer months this year. In the past, the choir has enjoyed a well-earned break from mid-June (after St. Barnabas’ Day) to early September, and we’ll continue that tradition. However, it would be very helpful to have singers “up front” to help with the congregational singing and to that end are asking for volunteers from the congregation and any visitors who might be interested to come at 10 am on Sunday morning, beginning June 22, for a short practice in the downstairs choir room. Perhaps you’re a ‘retired’ choir member who would enjoy singing again, or someone who has never sung in a choir and would like to give it a try. Needless to say, current choristers are more than welcome to come out, but we also recognize that the summer has been a time when some can sit with their spouses in the congregation and appreciate that opportunity. While advance notice of your participation isn’t essential, it would be helpful to have an idea of who might be interested. If you are, please speak to Neil after a service in the next few weeks, or you can email him at nshoulton@gmail.com.
PS No choir robes are needed – it is often just too hot to wear them during the summer!
