If you were feeling vexed that the Legs in the Holy Trinity Church Lady Chapel might never return, then fear not: ‘The Return Leg’ brings them back in all their glory, with the bodies accompanying them singing ‘How can I keep from singing’. This beautiful American Folk Hymn (arranged by Andy Beck) is a choir favourite. And even though our choristers are on holiday from Sunday services this month, it doesn’t prevent them from bringing you three minutes of calm as August stirs itself into life.

The ancient tradition of Swan Upping takes place this coming week (13th-17th July). Here Holy Trinity choir present ‘The Silver Swan’, composed by Orlando Gibbons (1583 – 1625) and originally printed in 1610 in his First Set of Madrigals and Motets in Five Parts. Not something the choir might sing as part of a Sunday service, but a beautifully crafted madrigal to savour at this suitable time.
And it calls to mind a quote which has been embedded in the memories of choirmen over the ages:
“Swans sing before they die— 't were no bad thing
Should certain persons die before they sing.”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834)

Many years ago the then Vicar of Cookham, Reverend Michael Westropp, met a lady walking through the churchyard one Sunday evening before Evensong. Upon asking her if she was coming to the service, she replied ‘Heavens no, I’m not dressed appropriately’. His reply? ‘It doesn’t matter. Come as you are’. And ‘Come as you are’ became his saying – even putting it up as a sign in the churchyard. With this in mind, we hope you will accept a lineup of choristers who came as they were. Whilst the church provides some cool during a heatwave, singing and recording is hot work. Hence, this presentation of ‘As water to the thirsty’ (rather apt as we probably head towards a hosepipe ban) comes with a free side order of bare legs in the Lady Chapel. Please enjoy the singing . . .and the legs.

Probably the best BBQ EVER - last Sunday in Cookham Vicarage garden - with a massive thank you to Dave, Fr Stephen and everyone who helped. Those sausages were grilled to perfection!

The sun may be shining, lawn mowers humming and birds busy about their summer business, but there will nonetheless be so many people experiencing difficult and sad times in their lives set against everyone saying ‘What lovely weather we’re having’.

We dedicate this short meditation to anyone who needs a little musical and spiritual support. In particular, we offer this on behalf of all the choristers for our friend Angela, in her time of mourning for her beloved husband, Robert (Bob). Angela is a committed and lovely chorister in Alter Chorum. And when she is not singing with us, she is a stalwart member of the congregation.

“The Lord’s my shepherd, I’ll not want.
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green: he leadeth me
the quiet waters by.”

Music and prayer for those in need of some spiritual comfort.Recor...
