@Paul_McCreesh Oh dear. Another case of sources being conflated, and simplistic conclusions drawn as a result.

Goodness... Some of this is inaccurate or questionable, and the rest old hat. Has the writer ever looked at Parrott/Keyte New Oxford Book of Carols? thetimes.co.uk/article/a94647…

Proper Christmas Radio 3 Reithian stuff for us early music nerds: wonderful! bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00… @WilliamFLyons

@ifagiolini Excellent! I’d be up for that!

The only song (super-short) for now is: youtu.be/zilAQ3l41N4

The 2024 Good University Guide has ranked Royal Holloway’s Music Department as 2nd in the UK on the basis of our high-quality teaching and research! Read more here: royalholloway.ac.uk/research-and-t…

The choristers are fresh out of their live @BBCRadio3 Choral Evensong and are joined by our friends from Lagos who have been with us this week. We hope you enjoyed it!

@nickmulroy The sad thing is that those are the sort of people who may hear the noise but have absolutely no idea of the quality of what they’re hearing. Every performance was amazing.

Just phenomenal music-making at the Abbey. Coordinating forces across the building, imbuing it with humanity, vitality, and grace, elevating the occasion so far above what it would be without music. And literally surrounded by people who want to dismantle UK musical life! 👏

Sharing information here about the short-notice cancellation of our recent concert in Florida:

@bbctms I wonder, were Kiegan Peterson’s parents fans of the great KP and the King of Perm, Kevin Keegan?

Ecststic audience at @UoYConcerts TUDOR NIGHTS. What an incredible variety. Big band of Windy Instruments & exquisite Consort (Morley wld hv loved it). Steve Player & Mary Collins dancers, Steven Devine harpsichord. Now to @MusicStour on Friday. @TheCityMusick @FieriConsort

Remember when you vote this week we have a liar in number 10, we have a man in number 11 that is worth £400m but loans you £200 and wants it back, they gave 100’s millions of pounds to their mates in Covid,the Russians fund them,they look after energy co’s rather than you. Vote🌹

@AnnaRCusack I would be interested to join if possible. It’s a great idea.

@Paul_McCreesh Lucky!

No dinosaurs in sight...but so lucky to have this walk on my doorstep!

Thank you to @GawainGlenton for this fantastic cypress-scented instrument & for all the energy & exuberance of @Sestinasingers @markyjchambers @Violino1567 @EmilyWh44982798 @WilliamFLyons #aromatherapyorgan @resonusclassics

Glorious Schütz resonating through this inspiring and beautiful church, a testament to hope and reconciliation.

@clarewilkinson @bartvanreyn So sorry Clare. How wonderful though to have had such a life and to have his family with him at the end.

Our beloved dad died yesterday morning aged 102, peacefully at home with family around. My god, what luck to have been his daughter, and to have been able to say goodbye.

@kirstyjhopkins It was the Germans who freaked me out

It feels like there’s such a lot at stake at the moment; I find it very hard to argue with any of this excellent letter from @MillanSachania in @thetimes
