Music Notes
Edgar Bainton (1880-1956) was an English-born musician who spent the later part of his career in Australia. Although best known for his church music, Bainton composed a great many works for chamber groups, orchestra and solo voice, many of which are coming back into vogue after being neglected for decades. Today’s anthem, “And I saw a new heaven”, is his most widely performed work.
Thomas Crawford, for many years organist of Timothy Eaton Church here in Toronto and the composer of this morning’s postlude, is a kind of “musical grandfather” to Neil Houlton as he was the main teacher of Neil’s first organ teacher.
Next Sunday, November 9, the choir is presenting a programme of music and readings entitled “Remembering” in honour of our war veterans and those who did not return from either World War. Featured are bagpiper Brendan Culver, organist Simon Walker, our own choir and leads plus guest tenor Christopher Mayell. The concert is at 4 pm and tickets are available from choir members or the church office, or at the door at $15 (youth under 16 free of charge). Please invite your family, friends, neighbours and all others on your Christmas card list to join you. This was a highly successful event in 2012 and we want to make it an even great success this year, with proceeds going to the organ restoration fund. See poster here »
