The joy and
the glory of heavenly church music
It was the intention of the founder of Westminster
Cathedral, Cardinal Vaughan, for the liturgies to be furnished with the
finest music available. Fortunately, his vision was shared by the first
Master of Music, Sir Richard Terry, whose genius established Westminster
Cathedral at the heart of the English choral tradition. Today, the Choir
of Westminster Cathedral is recognised as one of the finest in the world,
with its principal focus the daily celebration of the Divine Office and
Solemn Mass. Many other types of music are heard at the Cathedral these
days, but always of the highest quality, so that the liturgy may truly be
a source of inspiration and beauty to those who come to worship here.
Celebrate our Cathedral with
two beautiful new books!
