St Paul's Cathedral,
London There has been a choir of boys
and gentlemen at St Paul’s Cathedral for over nine centuries. The
earliest records date from 1127, when the then Bishop of London, Richard
de Belmeis founded what was the first choir school and made provision
for ’almonry’ boys to serve the Cathedral. The 2nd of December 1697 saw
the opening of Wren’s great Cathedral following the Great Fire of 1666.
John Blow, the then Minister of the Choristers, wrote his anthem, 'I was
glad when they said unto me' to be sung at this grand occasion. He was
assisted by his pupil Jeremiah Clarke, who was to become the first
official Organist of the new Cathedral. Purcell’s Te Deum and Jubilate
was also performed, accompanied by Father Smith’s large new organ
esteemed the best in Europe according to the diarist John Evelyn.
