"What else could you do?" - John David, Master Mason Emeritus
John David was an apprentice mason at the time of the fire of 1984. 40 years later, he is our longest-serving member of staff, still working to conserve a building he helped to repair 40 years ago, filled with irreplaceable treasures he carried to safety on the night of the fire.
Imagine being in John's shoes 40 years ago, awoken in the middle of the night to find the Minster on fire and at risk of burning down altogether.
We are hugely grateful to have John with us this year, and to hear his characteristically matter-of-fact memories of a night that must have been so dramatic, retold as only a true Yorkshireman could.

    That fire left me gutted from thousands of miles away in Texas. Immense gratitude here for all the many firefighters who fought and succeeded in saving the Minster. And also for those who so diligently rebuilt and restored this sacred place.

    I remember that horror like it was yesterday. Even from Texas, I was just gutted at the thought. Then just five years ago the same kind of gut wrenching over Notre Dame where I had performed when I was 17. These incredible, unfathomable, rare works of marvel and mystery giving testament of the magnificence of God are just treasures too great to be lost. I do wish the UK would restore and rebuild the ancient ruins of so many others which fell into ruins over the centuries. They too need to speak again.

    I had the great privilege of attending all the choral evensong services from Saturday 15th June to Friday 21st as well as choral eucharist on the Sunday. The Minster choir never cease to thrill me, thank you Robert for your continuing outstanding leadership. I'm not embarrassed to admit that every time I hear psalm 150 sung as the recessional at the end of the Sunday eucharist it brings tears to my eyes! Thank you so much.

    I remembered about 10 years. Ago visiting York Minster standing next to one of these massive bass pipes! When it sounded you didn’t hear it but you felt the massive pressure wave! I didn’t stay to long as my inside was vibrating! A great sound overall! That’s why they call it the King of Instruments! Fraser❤

  • @elsaarmstrong-zp6ng
    @elsaarmstrong-zp6ng 26 днів тому

    Agree that tempo is about right., many play it far to fast and the audio sound waves crash into each other! Bach’s tocatto and fuch in D minor is just a mash of noise if it’s played too fast! It’s a good test for a hi fi speakers as the frequencies go way down to 16 HZ and harmonics go way up past the human hearing range! I studied audio engineering many years and found it fascinating! If you walk into a church when the organ is playing you walk through the waves and get a pleasant feeling in your ears! It’s the Doppler effect where frequency, amplitude, and phase all sound together ! Try it sometime! The Hammond organ is another example ! Sound straight out of the speakers sound dry! Switch the Leslie speakers and the sound comes alive and spacious! Listen to Procal Harem or bands like Focus they make many interesting sounds from the Doppler effect!🎼 Fraser.😃👂👂

    From the central plains of Texas, thank you for this blessing as I’m confined at home the past six months. The live-streaming of services has truly been the greatest redemption to come from the scourge of Covid. I am now able to follow both York Minster and Rochester along with my home church of First Presbyterian in Tyler, Texas. I am very grateful.

    What happened to the First evensong of Pentecost - a major Feast in the whole Church? It came over as: Oh yes we have to spend some attention to this as well. Was it not more liturgically appropriate to select a date on a weekday in the coming week or so? For the rest I wish Canon Milne all the best and God's blessing in his new position in the Chapter and for all his role as Precentor.(I listen a lot to your online evensongs - at least 2/3 times a week).
