Video courtesy of Classic FM. / The Choir of Westminster Abbey is renowned worldwide as one of the finest choirs of its type. Comprising some thirty boy choristers (all of whom are pupils the Abbey’s unique Choir School) and twelve professional adult singers (known as Lay Vicars), the Choir plays a central role both in the daily choral services in the Abbey and in the many royal, state and national occasions which take place there. Notable recent events have included services to mark the Centenary of the Battle of the Somme and to celebrate the life and work of Sir Terry Wogan, both of which were broadcast nationally, and the Wedding of Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in April 2011, which was seen by a worldwide television audience of over two billion people. In addition to fulfilling its responsibilities in Westminster, the Choir undertakes an extensive programme of broadcasts, recordings, concerts and tours, travelling in recent years to Australia, the Far East, the United States, Russia, Hungary and Spain. In June 2012 the Choir was invited to the Vatican by Pope Benedict to sing with the Sistine Chapel Choir at a Papal Mass in St Peter’s Basilica, and in January 2017 the two choirs renewed their collaboration with a joint concert and Ecumenical Vespers in Rome’s Papal Basilicas of St John Lateran and St Paul Outside the Walls. Closer to home, the Choir gives regular concerts in the Abbey and has appeared at many major festivals including the London Festival of Baroque Music and the BBC Proms. The Choir of Westminster Abbey’s celebrated series of recordings for Hyperion includes the complete Great Service by William Byrd, choral works by Edward Elgar, and the critically acclaimed Mary and Elizabeth at Westminster Abbey, chosen by Gramophone as a Critics’ Choice and hailed as ‘a showcase for English choral singing at its most charismatic’. The latest addition to the catalogue is a disc of twentieth-century English choral music by Finzi, Bax and Ireland. The Choir of Westminster Abbey is directed by James O’Donnell, Organist and Master of the Choristers.
Every year Salisbury Cathedral invites children from School Years 2, 3 and 4 to try life as a chorister in a medieval Cathedral. Be a Chorister for a Day is an annual event (happens at the start of November) and marks the beginning of the recruitment process for next year's choristers. Being a chorister at the Cathedral is pretty special with its unbroken tradition of church music that stretches back for over 700 years in the present cathedral, and for a further 200 years before that in the cathedral at Old Sarum. The choral tradition is part of our national heritage and has always played a vital role in the life of the Cathedral. To begin with there were sixteen boy choristers, six Lay Vicars, the Director of Music, the Assistant Director of Music and the Organ Scholar, but in 1991 we took the historic step of forming another ‘top line’, bringing girl choristers into the Choral Foundation and choir school. Today the singing duties are divided equally between the two sets of choristers made up of boys and girls aged between 8 and 13 years old. The choristers work hard and play hard. As well as sports, music and every day school, they rehearse each morning for an hour from between 08.00 and again after school at 16.35 in preparation for the sung service (usually Evensong) at 17.30. During term-time Evensong is sung every day, with a sung Eucharist and Mattins each Sunday. In addition the choristers regularly take part in broadcasts, record CDs, tour and give concerts all over the Diocese and even, one Christmas, on board ship in Southampton.

Johannes Tinctoris Vicars Dufay Ockeghem 1435 1460 1472 1511
Johannes Tinctoris (c. 1435 / 1511) was a Flemish composer and music theorist of the Renaissance. He is known to have studied in Orléans, and to have been master of the choir there; he also may have been director of choirboys at Chartres. Because he was paid through the office of petites vicars at Cambrai Cathedral for four months in 1460, it has been speculated that he studied with Dufay, who spent the last part of his life there; certainly Tinctoris must at least have known the elder Burgundian there. Tinctoris went to Naples in c. 1472 and spent most of the rest of his life in Italy. Tinctoris published many volumes of writings on music. While they are not particularly original, borrowing heavily from ancient writers (including Boethius, Isidore of Seville, and others) they give an impressively detailed record of the technical practices and procedures used by composers of the day. He wrote the first dictionary of musical terms (the Diffinitorium musices); a book on the characteristics of the musical modes; a treatise on proportions; and three books on counterpoint, which is particularly useful in charting the development of voice-leading and harmony in the transitional period between Dufay and Josquin. The writings by Tinctoris were influential on composers and other music theorists for the remainder of the Renaissance. While not much of the music of Tinctoris has survived, that which has shows a love for complex, smoothly flowing polyphony, as well as a liking for unusually low tessituras, occasionally descending in the bass voice to the C two octaves below middle C (showing an interesting similarity to Ockeghem in this regard). He wrote masses, motets and a few chansons. Tinctoris was also known as a cleric, a poet, a mathematician, and a lawyer; there is even one reference to him as an accomplished painter.
