The golden age regained

PETER PHILLIPS

In 1908 John Bumpus, Librarian at St Michael's College Tenbury, published an entertaining anecdotal survey of English cathedral music and of the men who made it. There have been many changes since then: present-day choirs have won eminence on a hitherto unknown scale. Considering that the time was ripe for a fresh evaluation, Peter Phillips journeyed around the cathedrals and choir schools of Britain, concentrating not on personalities but on the views of those who maintain and enhance the tradition. Part two of his report appears in the next issue.
