Music notes
Martin Shaw (d. 1958) was a prolific and well-known English composer. He studied under Charles V. Stanford at the Royal College of Music and with a generation of composers that included Gustav Holst (think last week’s anthem tune "Thaxted") and Ralph Vaughan Williams. Shaw’s collaboration with Vaughan Williams produced favorite hymns based on English folk songs, including "All Things Bright and Beautiful" and "Morning Has Broken." On Sunday our choir will sing the vibrant and festive anthem "With a Voice for Singing," arguably Shaw’s most well-known choral work. --Karen Harmon, Music Director
