Notes and Items
from July 1933
by StPetersYork
MUSIC: SUNDAY, JUNE 25th, 1933.
1. Psalm Prelude. Ps. XXIII v. 4. Herbert Howells. 2. Aria. " I know that my Redeemer liveth." Handel. (Messiah). 3. Hymn. "The King of Love my Shepherd is." (366 S. of P:) (to an old Irish melody, with descant by Alan Gray, 0.P.). 4. Toccata (from Fifth Organ Symphony). Widor.
Hymn 304 (omit vv. 2 and 3). " Mine eyes have seen the glory " Martin Shaw. (with Solo verse by Sir Walford Davies).
In choosing to sing what is, perhaps, the best-known of any of Handel's Arias, Miss Toyne assured herself of an attentive congregation; her rendering was fully worthy of the beauty of the piece.
The Psalm Prelude and Toccata were two unusual pieces, new to the School, which Mr. Sykes rendered with his usual skill ; the Psalm Prelude in particular is a striking piece, and one which requires considerable ability to interpret adequately.
