having switched off "Your Call" on R3 I caught the end of Sunday Worship on R4 with, to my amateur ear, some spirited singing from Lancing. I was particularly taken with Mr Cox's Mass setting, and the organ sounded in good voice too.

Bearing in mind the complaints on another thread about Westminster Cathedral's use of Latin for a broadcast, I was surprised to hear the Creed in Latin from some Anglicans - and on Radio 4 too! -
Er - I thought this was a R Catholic service???
Anyway it was far preferable to the usual happy-clappy stuff normally broadcast while I'm having my Sunday morning bath.Comment

I very much doubt if the Revd Wendy Dalrymple would have got a look in if it had been!Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostComment

Lancing is very much a C of E school, and used to take lots of sons of vicars. Not sure nowadays. High Church Cof E services often use Latin in their services - putting the RC church to shame.Comment

Sanctus bells aren't uncommon at the highest end of AnglicanismComment

A good high Anglican service is more often than not 'higher' than many an RC service. Us good high Anglicans here in Newland have Sanctus bells and incense a plenty - holy water being asperged as and when required and the 'Hail Mary's' said or sung at the end of every Mass. So if you want to experience the full works.. do come and join us!Originally posted by David Underdown View PostComment

it is good to see that the Chapel's Director of Music, Neil Cox, has been commissioned to write an anthem for next year's Southern Cathedrals' Festival, to be held at Salisbury. The anthem will be premiered at Evensong on Saturday 21 July which will be recorded by BBC Radio 3 for later broadcast. The canticles will be Giles Swayne's Magnificat and Wood’s Nunc dimittis in Bb.Comment

This is good to know. I am still after finding a score of "War in Heaven" written for Michaelmas at Coventry - anyone know of any?Originally posted by Wolsey View PostComment

F4e, I seem to recall your making this same request on the old BBC board. Since Southwark gave us this anthem in their broadcast CE just over a year ago, I imagine that it has been published (unless Peter Wright and Neil Cox are close buddies), but, like you, I can find no trace of a score. If you do find a source, I'd be grateful if you would let me know.Originally posted by Finzi4ever View Post
Sadly, the Lancing broadcast of the Neil Cox Mass is not available on LA - a copyright hiccup, presumably. Yet I have a strange feeling that I've heard the work - broadcast from somewhere unexpected like Bath Abbey. Maybe I dreamt that. But the SCF service next July sounds an exciting prospect.Comment

You're quite right Dec. I did. The most annoying thing is that I did havemy hands on a handwrutten manuscript score when recording it nearly 10 years ago with Coventry under Rupert Jeffcoat (- was a bussed-in supernumerary on that occasion)!Originally posted by decantor View PostComment

If it has been broadcast from Bath Abbey, it wouldn't have been the Abbey Choir singing it : though from what I heard a fortnight ago, it seemed the sort of piece which we might well enjoy!Comment

They were Cambridge contemporaries. Why not e-mail him at Lancing? You'll find the details in the Music brochure on the school's website.Originally posted by decantor View PostComment
