This two page tribute is packed with photos and numerous recordings and broadcasts for you to enjoy.
A private recording of the Evening Canticles, Valediction of Choristers & Anthem which took place during a live Choral Evensong at Hereford Cathedral on 9 October 1982, with the cathedral choir, directed by Roy Massey.
This recording is rare because it includes the ceremony for the Valediction and Admission of Choristers, together with the appointment of a new Head Chorister (Robert Macdonald, who sang the treble solos in the canticles and anthem on that day). These ceremonies, which take place in most cathedrals in one form or another, are hardly ever recorded.
