I didn’t get to my usual church last Sunday, but the VW anniversary was well observed at Christ Church Julian Road; we sang ‘Down Ampney’ at the morning service, and in the evening there was a concert entirely of his music. I would have liked to have joined the choir for this, but a rehearsal elsewhere meant I couldn’t, and I only caught the final half of the programme, which included the Serenade to Music and Five Mystical Songs. Congratulations to all involved. I ought to add the Serenade to my wishlist.
Coming up:
my first evensong in the new stalls at Bath Abbey
my first ever weekend of services in Wells Cathedral
evensong at St. Paul’s Cathedral
