Wow. All under the baton of the great John Scott who, until his untimely death from a heart attack, was organist and choirmaster at St Thomas Episcopal Church in New York City. Prior to that, he served here at St Paul’s Cathedral in London. When he was contacted about the New York City job, he had one request of the Rector at the time…that he not be forced to “audition” or “compete”. The Rector took the contract out of his pocket for John to sign. Even as a Houstonian, I knew of his outstanding musicianship and worshipped any chance I got at St Thomas. Through coincidental scheduling, I was in NYC for his funeral at St Thomas. The congregation got to sing one hymn “Love Divine, All Loves Excelling” (Blaenwern) while the St Thomas Choir of Men and Boys handle the rest (along with a few alumni from that choir). A glorious service, touched with sadness. Note here, he conducts the congregation (the choir and orchestra know what to do…ha)

I bet off the stage, they are your typical young boys, with all the trouble and misbehavior that automatically entails. Just because their parents got them to dress up and go sing for the choir doesn't mean they are automatically well behaved little angels. I mean, beyond the automatic innocence any child has....but most of them are getting to the age where they're getting near the cutoff point for that. Wherever that point may be....I always wondered about that. They say all children are sinless and will go to heaven, but exactly when does that expire? Does it depend of the kid? Is it sudden, or a transitional thing. Kind of interesting to think about.

[@gunnarthorsen]

I agree. I was raised Catholic, but love hymns by Wesley, and have heard a couple of them used at Catholic masses because the spirit of them is totally "catholic". Many think that Wesley composed all of the music used for his hymns, but that isn't true. The music that we hear now was adapted from a work by Mendelssohn. My favorite setting for "O, For a Thousand Tongues to Sing" was composed by Thomas Jarman, a tailor. Also, the original music that Wesley used for "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing" was actually quite somber, not joyous.
