I attended a service last Saturday marking 28 years since the first women were ordained in the Church of England, there in Bristol Cathedral. It was a moving and uplifting service and I was struck by the sense of history more than I was expecting…
Bristol University Schola Cantorum sang selections from my Missa Brevis as part of a very nicely chosen set of music: all the songs had either words or music or both by women. Which of course shouldn’t be a big deal but, you know, is. Extremely honoured to be heard alongside Hildegard of Bingen and my hero Catherine Winkworth!
