Windows for Finzi

A set of 8 stained-glass windows by Tom Denny commemorating Gerald Finzi will be installed in Gloucester Cathedral next June. I was given a flyer at choir practice, but I think this has not been widely publicised and deserves to be.

There is more information and a picture here and donations towards the cost are welcome.

Finzi was something of a cult composer in my musical circle when I was a student; I sang several of his pieces then, and others since. Of them my favourite is the Magnificat – you can’t listen to his setting of ‘He hath put down’ accompanied on a Cathedral organ and dismiss Finzi as one of the cow-pat school.
