sadly not any longer. Martin Baker forced out along with a bunch of choristers so that rich London boys can be prioritised and costs can be cut - no more weekend boarding.
@@antelephant2511 Glad to hear it. This is what WCCS can and should be providing. Did you know that they (Maclaughlan and the cardinal) refused a donation that would have paid for all choristers for the next 25 years if they had rescinded the decision to move to weekly boarding? This change has meant that practically speaking no catholic boy from outside London can be a chorister. 7 years ago half the choristers were from outside London, but this has steadily declined as Neil Maclaughlan has actively undermined the choir (no outreach, no more recordings, no active promotion / recruitment - until the change to weekly boarding!) in order to implement his own agenda. The whole chorister experience has diminished so that more room and resource can be devoted to the (incredibly high) fee paying day boys so that the school and diocese can service various debts including the purchase and renovation of the prep school building (which NM claimed was to provide a steady stream of choristers). I hope your chorister comes out unscathed. With the departure of Martin Baker, this place is Catholic in name only.
@@macitect as a former chorister of the last batch before the changes removing weekend boarding you mentioned it is sadly evident that the choir will most likely never regain its former glory, it is true to say the choir was in steady decline before the removal of weekend boarding (probably due to the choir school interfering with chorister recruitment) the removal of weekend boarding permanently fatally wounded the choir
@@Porrectus Then we know each other. Yes, I am sad to see the continued decline of the music at Westminster. The shell has been emptied... Thank God we have recordings of what Martin Baker achieved, it can set the standard for renewal when and if the current regime - 'archbishop', head and deputy head/ head of boarding - are gone and real catholics run the place.

Fantastic upload, just the introit on its own lifts you up to a different world, like someone said in comments. Many thanks, great example of 'high', elaborate and wonderful RC liturgy.
Whether you are Catholic, Protestant or lapsed. The insense, music, stain glass, alters, tradition, priests vestments all make it come alive. Theatre. Magic. Mysticism. I say this as someone baptised Catholic turned evangelical. It’s ashame we can’t have a Church Catholic and Reformed without the liberal deformations!
@@mauriciomontoya8634 well religion is organized spirituality so it will be passed down the generations. It's religion that gives you a choir generation after generation in Westminister Cathedral. Religion is communal spirituality.

Yes absolutely - Cardinal Basil Hume will be turning in his grave! I feel so sorry for Martin Baker too, after giving years of superb tutelage to this world renowned choir. We now watch another jewel of our English choral tradition fading before our eyes!
The best sacred choral comes from the Anglican/Episcopal churches. Their sound is superb. Men and boys. So proper and enchanting. About as perfect as it can get. I've heard some good Lutheran renditions of church music and it is fine. Neighborhood Catholics just cant get it right. Rome is top notch. Such a joy to listen and meditate. Thank you.
@@nem2966 Yes. Westminster is an Anglican Cathedral in London. Men and boys have been noted for singing in Anglican cathedrals. I just assumed this is where they were. The Chorale music being sung is outstanding. I misquoted. Perhaps the music is not Anglican or Episcopalian (written by others) BUT the music sung is truly outstanding by these men and boys in the choir from Westminster - as "advertised."
This is the choir from Westminster CATHEDRAL, the Catholic cathedral (chair of the Bishop) in the Westminster area of London. You are referring to Westminster ABBEY, the more famous Church of England/Anglican building up the road and next to the Houses of Parliament (Palace of Westminster). This BBC program ("Choral Evensong") typically does broadcasts from various CofE cathedrals (though most of those Church of England buildings were constructed as Catholic 500 years ago, for what it's worth), or various Oxford/Cambridge choirs...including as you mention, from Westminster ABBEY. However occasionally they broadcast from a Catholic one, which provide these great "PLAINSONG chant psalms", nearly always in Latin as here though occasionally in English, while the Anglican broadcasts have their own great more polyphonic hymns. They are differentiated in Choral Evensong broadcasts in that the Catholic ones are labeled Choral Vespers" instead of "Choral Evensong". --More episodes of Choral Evensong weekly program from which this video is recorded: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006tp7r/episodes/player --map from Cathedral to Abbey www.google.com/maps/dir/westminster+cathedral/westminster+abbey/@51.4971296,-0.1425834,15z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x487604dfc706cf41:0x2c7640561ee01e5!2m2!1d-0.13944!2d51.495809!1m5!1m1!1s0x487604c4ba43352f:0xda8effa2059b537a!2m2!1d-0.1273097!2d51.4992921

I mean what are you going to replace 2000 years of musical tradition with?...a rousing rendition of "Kum Ba Ya"?! They tried that already. It was a flop.
Such glorious music, performed by, what was, one of the finest cathedral choirs in England: but when you teach CHURCHianity, in place of CHRISTianity, the consequences are the same for all 'organised' religion: whether Church of England or Roman Catholic. The moral compass for the Church, who is Jesus of Nazareth (his existence, life, teaching, death and resurrection) is lost, in the clamour to become socially 'relevant' to the World.
