Another piece in the Cecilian style this week, in Habert’s setting of the Psalm response and Gospel acclamation texts. We contrasted this with Will Todd’s setting of words from the book of Wisdom, in which Claire Wolfendale directed us. Nathan Jowett played the organ in Anthony’s absence.

There were about sixty candidates for Confirmation today, and at the Bishop’s request we had the rite of anointing in silence, rather than with the usual accompanying musical feast. The prayerful silence covering the whole rite worked well, I thought.
