An incredible week of music by @YorkMinChoir ends with the traditional ‘Chorister Easter Egg Hunt’ in the Deanery Garden after a glorious Evensong. What better way to end a joyous day! Alleluia! Christ is risen!

In the last week of term for @YorkMinChoir we have welcomed 200-300 people every night to Choral Evensong, they are immersed in prayer - mediated through music. Many have never stepped into a church before. Some never will again.

Brilliant to be a small part of the first Festival of #faithandmusic today in the great city of York. Delighted to speak to @RevRachelMann about the book which was written in York, and hear so many stories which resonate.

Thanks to all for your concern. The Master of the House is fine (it was a long night though). Christmas cakes:⚠️definitely not good for dogs⚠️ Suggest if you have a naughty, tall, attention-seeking labradoodle/pooch on site you hide the turkey, chocolate, cake, sausages now!

Wow! Worlds colliding! Etymology *and* organ stops in one single tweet! Can things get any better in Twitterworld? Thank you @HaggardHawks You’ve. Made. My. Day.

The STOPS in the expression ‘pull out all the stops’ are organ stops. Pulling out all of the stops on an organ creates the fullest, loudest sound possible, so the phrase has come to mean ‘to make every effort’ or ‘to go all out’.

So we salute you, O you mighty, generous and wonderful musicians! From choirs the size of choral societies to octets, with children, adults, parish choirs, chapel choirs and gathered ensembles. The Anglican Choral tradition is indebted to the amateur singers of this land.
