If you were a DoM, what would you pick for your broadcast?

[Lizzie]

My apologies - welcome, welcome- you are right- I was being churlish - my only excuse being a bad day...
May I make amends?

Might I be forgiven?

Of course, you silly sausage! This Forum is a happy and generous space. All very Bws. Liz

[Bullock in D]

Introit: Glorious and Powerful God: Stanford. Sadly not in print any more (?)
Bullock in D of course....with a big bass soloist for the Nunc, not full men.
or......Tustin Baker in D, which is the most under rated set of Canticles ever. In fact if anybody has a copy I would bite their arm off.
Anthem: Remember now thy Creator by Steggall
Organ at end Bach's Gigue fugue.....that'll sort somebody nicely.
Cheers

By 'big bass soloist' I meant big as in the voice department. Size is by no means everything.
Oh .....and Tunnard responses please

Don't forget the miracle of CPDL (though it appears even that can't help with Tustin Baker), behold Glorious and Powerful God, Op 135 No 3

Apparently it even rescued an Australuan choir at a wedding recently, when by an oversight they were missing one piece of music, but as they all had smartphones, they simply pulled up the music from cpdl and read from the phones

I know exactly what you mean.

I'm interested to see that everyone's gone for the 16th/17th century responses. BinD excepted of course...

Very nice, muticus. Isn't Gibbons 'God is gone up' the second part of 'O Clap Your Hands'? I apologise if I'm being ignorant. How about substituting Finzi's 'God is Gone Up'? A great piece IMO. I mean, if you're having Messaien at the end, it would be a sort of half-way house.....

I'd quite like to do an all-German Evensong.

Introit: Brahms Wenn ein starker Gewappneter
Psalm: 150, Stanford chant of course (if anyone knows of any German chants I'd be happy to hear...)
Canticles: Schütz Deutsches Magnificat and Herr, nun lassest
Anthem: Mendelssohn Mitten wir im Leben sind

[Old Man]

Introit: I will arise - Creyghton
Responses: Tomkins
Canticles: Ouseley in E
Anthem: Hear, O Heavens - Humfrey

Or perhaps for the anthem Brahm's Geistliches Lied - that wonderful Amen...

[muticus]

OOOOH - Tunnard Responses - I haven't heard them since I was a Treble (rather a long time ago) - 'Tim' Tunnard - one of the lost greats of Church music - DoM at St Mary's Warwick 50+ years ago.

You are quite right about the Gibbons God is Gone up - it is the latter part of O Clap. I would happily swap for the Finzi - but then I would happily swap virtually anything by anyone for anything by Finzi!

'Tim' Tunnard - one of the lost greats of Church music

Is this the same Tunnard who was O&C of Birmingham Cathedral?

[Bullock in D]

Yes, the very same 'Tim' Tunnard. Like Tustin Baker, hugely under rated and well worth re-discovering. Also yet another DoM from a 'parish church cathedral' who achieved amazing results on very slender means.
