Tony Blair's Secret
You'll have to register for the full article, but the lede tells it all. Tony Blair's shameful past is revealed: he "is in fact a former choirboy, who spent his adolescence warbling Stravinsky."
John Cantrell, a NYC choirmaster and organist, adds his voice of complaint: "most music publishers are releasing a considerable amount of schlock - compositions of no musical, theological substance." Yes. You should really see the promotional packets choral publishers put out. If you can find one piece in ten that does not inspire active disgust, you are lucky. Cantrell's post is a call for scores. Send him something good if you've got it.
Umie the Umlaut says, "ask your doctor about the Fredösphere!"
