A Century of Cathedral Music 1898 - 1998 by Dr John Patton and Steve Taylor, published by John Patton in 2000; ISBN 0-9524-28,
This review is from: A Century of Cathedral Music: A Comparison with Previous Music Surveys of 1898, 1938, 1958, and 1986 (Paperback)
Dr John Patton has gathered together in one book the result of five surveys of cathedral music carried out in the United Kingdom in the period 1898 to 1998. If you want to know what Anthems, Canticles or Eucharist settings have been sung during this period and how often; this is the obvious source of reference. Although less complete that the 1998 Survey, those of 1898, 1938 and 1958 are, as co-author, Steve Taylor, points out, "...fascinating in their own right...".
"The repertoire," as the late Dr George Guest says in an Introduction he contributed, "is extensive and though, as tastes have changed and many pieces have died, there exists a vast and still growing body of music of the highest standard. Most is Anglican in origin, but Catholic music is increasingly popular and indeed, just as an unwanted child is taken into care, so it behoves the Anglican Church to nurture and keep alive that wonderful legacy of choral music, now largely alas abandoned by the very church that inspired its composition." Dr Guest goes on to quote with approval from the 1957 Report of the Archbishops of Canterbury and York: "One test must be applied to the use of the arts in worship. Is the motive that inspires their use the glory of God? Or are they designed rather to attract a congregation?" This is a test a number of deans and precentors have increasingly failed to apply in more recent years. An absolute "must-have" for anyone with an interest in sacred music, and an invaluable companion for regular and occasional participants in the Sung Services at our magnificent cathedrals.
