Llandaff Cathedral |

![]() ![]() |
![]() REMINISCENCES OF ITS MUSICAL PAST. [By R. GOULD THORNE.] Now that a new organ has at length been reared in Llandaff Cathedral the musical history of the venerable fane may with propriety afford a little interest.
The present instrument is probably the third the cathedral has seen, for it is scarcely probable that there was an organ, such as we understand them, prior to the one which we read was destroyed in 1691 as a result of the factious conflicts of that period. As far as Wales is concerned, mention is however, made by Dafydd ap Gwilyrn, who wrote in the fourteenth century , of an organ and choir at Bangor in his time, and it is also recorded in Hopkins and Rimbault's "History of the Organ" that a "loud organ" existed at St. Asaph at a very remote period, and, moreover, that the organ at Wrexham enjoyed more than a local celebrity. These were, probably. prehistoric organs, and, although there may be no record of the fact, they were, no doubt, to be commonly found at Llandaff and elsewhere throughout Wales besides at Bangor and St. Asaph. As the seventeenth century was prolific in the erection of fine organs such as we more or less know them to-day, it may be assumed that the Llandaff instrument destroyed in 1691 was one of the class and the first organ of any dignity introduced into the cathedral. In Mr. J. E. West's industrious compilation. "Cathedral Organists," it appears that the year mentioned also saw the suppression of the choir. "As a substitute," it says,"the National schoolmaster was appointed to lead the singing, for which he received £4 per annum." At Bishop Ollivant's enthronement, on March 13, 1850, these crippled musical arrangements appear to have been still in force, for we read that "on the opening of the door to the bishop's summons . . . the National schoolmaster, heading the procession, gave out a psalm, which was sung by about a dozen of his scholars, a bass viol being the only instrument then in the possession of the cathedral." From 1691 to 1861 - one hundred and seventy years- choral services were unknown, whilst to-day the difficulty would rather be to find a place of worship of any kind without some attempt at choral worship. In 1861, when the restoration of the half ruined edifice had been sufficiently accomplished by Bishop Ollivant and Dean Williams and enlightenment and toleration had dawned, music was once again acknowledged as the handmaid of religion though the bishop himself was as insensible to harmony as Archbishop Temple. It was, presumably, about 1861 that Gray and Davison erected the fine instrument of its kind which did such good service until its displacement a year ago in favour of the organ just opened. Henry Preece; the venerable blower-historic and picturesque link with the past!-will tell you how Sir Frederick Ouseley complimented him on his blowing on the occasion of the opening of the instrument by that distinguished priest-organist, and that henceforth he was known as the "doctor of blowers."' Ouseley, by the way, also "opened" the organ in St. Fagan's Church some ten or fifteen years ago. The first modern organist of Llandaff Cathedral was John Bernard Wilkes (1861-65). I say "modern" because ancient organists were as unlike the cathedral players of to-day as water is to wine. Wilkes was the first of several Llandaff men who shed lustre on their profession. His tune to "Far from my heavenly home," in "Hymns Ancient and Modern," will. always live. In 1866 L Hamilton Clarke was appointed, but only remained a year. He is now, as for twenty years past, one of the acknowledged directors of the music at various London theatres. He left Llandaff to became organist of Queen's College. Oxford. From 1866 to 1870 Dr. F. E. GIadstone held Llandaff. He has the reputation of being a fine fugue player. In 1870 he went to Chichester Cathedral and subsequently joined the Roman Catholic Church. He is now a Londoner. Then, in 1870, came Mr. T. E, Aylward, most retiring and thorough of musicians. Like Dr. Gladstone, he, too, progressed in 1876 to Chichester and was succeeded at Llandaff by Mr. C. Lee Williams, whose compositions have rightly brought him to eminence. In 1882 he trekked to Gloucester, to sit where Wesley once sat. From 1882 to 1894 Mr. Hugh Brooksbank was the esteemed occupant of the post, until death claimed him and his undoubted talents. To the enthusiasm and energy of Mr, George Galloway Beale, the present organist, will have to be credited the new organ which now adorns the ancient mother church of. the chief Welsh diocese. The stigma of a debt of £300 on the instrument should assuredly not be more than a temporary one. Western Mail Thursday 22 November 1900 (www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk) | |
