Sadly, Allan Wicks died on the 4th February 2010, aged 86. He will be missed by many, but his legacy to the world of music will also be cherished and enjoyed for ever.

I was a chorister here (1953-58) during Sydney Campbell's time as choir master. He kept a reception desk bell on the piano which he rang to stop us singing, as he did once when infuriated with our singing of the third verse of Psalm 54 which starts: "For strangers are risen up against me:". We'd clearly emphasised the first word because he slammed his hand on the bell shouting: "What do you mean - four strangers? One with a beard, one with a moustache, one bald and another goodness knows what?"

This is simply incredible.
Alan Wicks was my choir master's choir master and our choir had the priveledge of singing in this beautiful cathedral in the summer, which was my last choral singing experience before I moved to university, and I couldn't have asked for a better send off.
It was such a beautiful part of my life and it's videos like this that keep it alive, so thank you very much :)

Hi jmontgomery7577
I guess we were all too scared of him to find it amusing. ;-)

Bless O Lord, us thy Servants who minister in thy temple. Grant that what we sing with our lips, we may believe in our hearts and and what what we belive in our hearts we may show forth in our lives; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

We just did psalm 42 last week, but a different arrangement....John Lemon's arrangement that is. I think I like this better....

@cocainecomputer It is from a BBC television documentary, filmed and transmitted in 1985, called CLOSE HARMONY, and shown on BBC 2. It was an hour-long programme, featuring Allan Wicks and thew Cathedral choir, with David Flood (who was then sub-organist) and introduced by Barry Rose from various points in and around the Cathedral.
