OK, this wasn't what I was going to write about today, but I can't not note the death of Sir David Willcocks who, as the conductor of the Choir of King's College, Cambridge, influenced so many church musicians. I fell in love with English church music listening to records by this choir, in the 60's and 70's, when all my friends (I am sure!) were listening to another kind of music entirely!
That's all I can say right now. What a watershed year this is turning out to be.
