“Es ist ein Ros entsprungen,
aus einer Wurzel zart,
wie uns die Alten sungen,
von Jesse kam die Art.
Und hat ein Blümlein bracht
mitten im kalten Winter,
wohl zu der halben Nacht.”

For all interested in England’s liturgical history - and the fascinating hangover of Latin post-Reformation, I couldn’t recommend this more: https://t.co/Yum9rqbrmj

@JQGl Lovely to see you are in Glos. I had a happy year in the cathedral choir before uni, under the great AP. 2012-13. Perhaps we overlapped? V best.

@lpp28 @WisdenCricket We all regret the treatment of Vince. But Lyth had that too. You really aren’t the forgotten county in England - grow up. Wasn’t long ago it was a 9 kolpak side…!

@Hopkins_Alison @Fiat__Justitia @lorrainemking Why didn’t you say the right word?

@johanvanveen Not a fan of vibrato? Alas! Thank you for the review.

@DrMusicale Thank you, Marc!! 🥳

[Christian-Marc @DrMusicale]

If you like unfamiliar English 16thC choral music, give this a try. It’s Rasar(Rasor)’s only surviving work in a new recording under the super direction of @TobyCharlesWard

@jonathanclinch @mvdaily Shocking. I had a review the other day from someone who had clearly not read the booklet essay - or only read the historical bits, not who performed what. Sloppy, lazy, not worthy.

[Toby Ward @TobyCharlesWard]

Henry VIII on Tour is out now, @delphianrecords! 🥳

Hear the sound of Henry on tour: at prayer, play and in private. Harp, lute, organ (including the revolting Regal) - and of course choral works - mixing the sounds of Henry’s ‘riding chapel’ with the ‘local choir’ he visited.

@gavinashenden More proof that you’re a twat, Gavin. You have not covered yourself in glory, AGAIN

[Toby Ward @TobyCharlesWard]

@cuntofcardiff @StGermanCardiff You embarrass yourself.

[Toby Ward @TobyCharlesWard]

@blitzkriegbauer @Patrick49012564 @dieworkwear No, come on. Be kind. How would you like it? (I say this as someone who largely despises his work…)

[Petroc Trelawny @PetrocTrelawny]
