Church Music
HE Sunday afternoon programmes from 4YA called In Quires and Places ‘Where They Sing follow the history of English church music from the 16th Century to the present day. The singers perform in First Church, under the conductorship of George Wilkinson, and are to" be recommended strongly. : The musician will find them excellently sung, while the commentary \is interesting and scholarly at the same time (a combination seldom met with in radio talks). As an introduction to the golden age of vocal music the young student could wish for nothing better than the first couple of programmes, while anyone connected in any way with church services, as preacher, organist, choirmaster, singer, or member of the congregation, should not only enjoy the experience of listening to these pro=" grammes but discover a way of lifting the standard of many a dull service. | There is a rich and little-tilled field of beautiful church music waiting for any ambitious choral group, however small, which has the energy to attempt and the patience to prepare a collection of offerings from the lesser-known music of the early English school of church composers.
