Re: All things to all people?
I think the mix is to be recommended. Jesus, who was not a fisherman, told experienced fishermen to toss their nets to the other side of the boat ... and the miracle, apart from the fact that they caught loads of fish, was that they listened to him in the first place! We musicians, who also have to ...

Re: Long-standing music director axed as £1m debt forces cut
Thomas, perhaps you should consider running this as a separate topic? Not all cathedrals have a musical establishment in the way that others do. At Hallam the financial investment to the cathedral's music was in one person and that part-time role is now redundant. It will be interesting to see how t...

Re: WW1 Commemoration
The Bishops have agreed 4 or 5 significant 'battle' days each year on which Masses will be celebrated. Hallam Diocese J & P Commission have approved a draft proposal for a 4 year plan culminating in a Year for Peace (and Justice) and an invitation for parishes to be in Covenant/Agreement for Pea...

Re: Long-standing music director axed as £1m debt forces cut
Perhaps the previous writer needs to employ a spell-check for entrepreneurial (correct spelling) and then also a self-assessment as to whether business criteria should really be appropriately applied to the particular music ministry of this topic. Were the same criteria applied to our education deli...

Re: Long-standing music director axed as £1m debt forces cut
If you read the letter again you will see that John is expressing strong support for a model of music-making that places the Assembly first whether it be in parishes or cathedrals. I am glad that he appreciated this to be the case in Hallam. This is not the experience in all cathedrals.

Re: Beatification
Non sum moderator sed much better, me thinks! I didn't notice any tiredness on the part of PF. I watched it in the comfort of Sheffield Odeon with my 3D glasses firmly in place. It made me feel quite modern though I'm told I looked daft! The one musical aspect that began to annoy me was the alternat...

Re: Maundy numbers
well I'd like to keep on the topic that is 'off topic'. The sacrificial love that we have just been celebrating is also present in relationships of any kind. Love is sacrificial unless it is fragmented in whatever way. One of our daily newspapers ran an article this weekend about the same but withou...

Re: Long-standing music director axed as £1m debt forces cut
There are ominous signs in Llandaff that all is not well in protestant cathedrals.

Re: Maundy numbers
Having just been to the practice for those to be baptised/received/confirmed and seen the numbers involved we could be in for a long night tonight. It will still be shorter than the three years when Bishop and Dean baptised by full immersion. This year each baptism will only involve the pouring of a...

Re: Maundy numbers
We did over 300 Orders of Service for Thursday and there were just enough. Only about 25 stayed till Night Prayer but perhaps city centres are not places for religious folk to hang out! This afternoon's Passion was attended by almost 500 and there were about 30 children celebrating the Passion elsew...

Re: Holy Week Music Programme
MaryR considered that her parish do more of the Word than anyone else. A cursory glance at Hallam's submission will reveal that all seven readings from the OT will be heard at its Cathedral Church of St Marie. In fact we've been doing all seven since I arrived at Hallam twenty years ago. I hope this...

Re: Next Saturday's Responsorial Psalm!
You could dispense with the response and set the words of the psalm itself to a well-known psalm tone. We do this frequently at St Marie's in Sheffield. It is particularly suitable for Lent, we feel. Some people refer to this legitimate method of singing the psalm the direct method. We like to give ...

Re: Bishops fix date for ending old music settings
Last week Hallam Diocese began a programme of 2 evening sessions in each deanery. Next week sees Part 2 workshops in Sheffield North, Barnsley and Rotherham Deaneries. Message me if you want to know further dates in the programme which ends in June.
