Description

Even without the current tempestuous times, this has been an unusual issue to compile as we rapidly travel from the future to the past and back again.

We open with the magnificent new Quire organ in Canterbury Cathedral – definitely an instrument we should all flock to hear once lockdown is over. We then venture into the not-so-distant future (or even the present) with a couple of articles that explore how modern composers are working with, and augmenting, traditional organs when writing new music.

We return to the not-so-foreign past with Professor David Baker writing about John Varley Roberts. A name which many will be able to conjure with, but do you know the full extent of his abilities?
