From the Chairman
I trust that all are recovered from the Easter season. It is a rewarding
time for all of us and usually involves a number of extra services to
mark the most important time of the Christian year.
The movement from dark to light is a constant theme of our Christian
faith. I hope that all our membership has been able to experience
resurrection in some form over this time.
Our Branch is presently occupied with the forthcoming visit of
Andrew Reid, the Director of RSCM UK. Andrew was the Director of
the January RSCM Australia Summer School in Brisbane and he
managed things superbly. I look forward to seeing a good number of
you at Burt Hall, St George’s Cathedral on the evening of Wednesday
22nd April and/or Clancy’s restaurant and St Patrick’s Basilica on
Thursday 23rd April. A number of invitations have been sent to nonmembers of RSCM to meet Andrew on the Wednesday evening. We
will also gain much from hearing him talk about the vision of RSCM
and the resources which are available to support those involved in
church music.
Andrew will also visit John Septimus Roe Anglican Community School
and St Mary’s Cathedral on Thursday to work with their choirs. He
will certainly have a full programme.
Not long after that is the Hymn Festival at St George’s Cathedral to
celebrate Isaac Watts and as the Wesley brothers. Again, details are in
this WestNews.
We thank Hugo Lindsay, who responded to the plea for someone to
take on the duties of Branch Secretary. As I remarked at the Annual
General Meeting, it is a matter of concern that we could not vote on a
nomination at that occasion. This is an opportunity to reach out
beyond our existing membership. That idea of reaching out is a vital
one to keep at the front of our attention; it is clear that the future
continuation of our Branch depends on renewal.
I can also report that the committee overseeing preparations for this
year’s Choir Camp in Morawa in July is working well. It does remain a
concern that for most of the participants, RSCM is something with
which they are in contact with during July, but not at any other time of
the year. We continue to look for ways of helping those people,
especially the older tutors, understand that RSCM has much more to
offer them.
It is certainly an active year. A second
visitor from the UK, Gordon Appleton,
will direct both the Choir Camp in
July and our Annual Festival at the
start of August.

Hi Everyone,
You will find the new committee structure and contact details at the top of this page. Please update your address books to reflect the new WestNews Editors email, rscm_wa@bigpond.com
the old one will only be working for a few more months so please start using the new address
now. We look forward to receiving mail and photos related to Andrew’s visit from our members
for the next issue. Normally, we publish the key AGM reports in this issue, however none have been received
as of the publication date.
We look forward to seeing many of you this week at the various events Andrew Reid will be attending.
Gloria Lynge celebrates her 90th birthday in style. (Pictures will appear in the next issue)
Your editors were delighted to attend the 90th birthday celebrations of Gloria Lygne, held during morning
tea at St Edmund’s Church, Wembley on the 19th of April. Gloria is a long time supporter and past committee
member of the WA Branch. Her daughter Julie and grandson had organised the hall to be decked out in a pink,
purple and white colour scheme. “Princess Gloria” was seated in a special chair on stage for the formal proceedings . The cake was a marvel representing important aspects of her life including a life-sized replica of
“Cocky” the pink and grey gallah who first lived with Gloria in her childhood in Kalgoorlie. Sometime we
must have Gloria relate that tale for WestNews. A singalong started things off which included some of her favorite requests, Oh, what a beautiful morning; All things bright and beautiful; A Bicycle built for two and
Amazing Grace. Gloria delighted in the whole hall joining in the singing. Speeches followed and included a
special email message from the new Dean of Perth, The Very Reverend Richard Pengelley, who commented
on Gloria’s amazing zest for life and her musical enthusiasm, which allowed her to continue to to ascend to
organ galleries and choir lofts and play for all manner of services almost every day of the week. In the last
week she has been acknowledged with life membership in the Mother’s Union for a lifetime of service to that
community. We can all only dream, I am afraid, of being so musically active at 90! Congratulations Gloria
from the WA RSCM Branch Committee.

Hymnfest
October
Pinjarra Trip
Continued
There were choices of a stroll by the river, visiting
the Quilters in the old School House, enjoying a cuppa in the Tea Rooms or simply chilling out in the
church hall. It was a great day of fellowship, catching
up with old, and meeting, new friends.
Our friendly bus driver, Greg, dropped us back at
Mandurah station. On this trip rain started to fall for
which all of the gardeners amongst us were very
grateful. Its timing also meant we were grateful it
held off until we were on the bus!
Thank you to the organisers for a lovely day out.
Bruce and Robin Robinson, St Michael’s Mt Pleasant.
Sheila will once again be coordinating our yearly
Hymnfest in October. The date and venue will be
confirmed later in the year.
Venite
November
Gil Burbidge and Ruth Styles will be selecting the
music and theme for our November Venite. The date
and venue will be confirmed later in the year.
Pinjarra Trip
Reports
RSCM WA Branch had an enjoyable day out on 14th
March. About twenty Perth participants caught the
train to Mandurah where we joined a bus to take us
to the historic town of Pinjarra.
Rev Julie Baker of St John’s Anglican parish welcomed us and gave us a short history lesson of the
town. First settled in 1836, there was tension between the new settlers and the local indigenous people, which actually ended in a massacre. However, the town developed to
become the centre of administration
for the shire and people protected the
early buildings which gives Pinjarra its
historic feel today.
Lunch was provided with country hospitality and thoroughly enjoyed by all.
A big thank you to the members of St
John’s for their warm hospitality. This
was followed by a service of Praise and
Thanksgiving with plenty of joyous
singing accompanied by John Beaverstock on the organ. The beautiful
stained glass windows offered reflections of lives past and the natural environment in which these people lived/
live. Julie asked us to consider the link
between gifts and God’s grace.

Handel’s Judas Maccabæus
Friday, 11th December 2015 7.30pm
Judas Maccabæus is an oratorio in three acts composed in 1746 by George Frideric Handel, based on a
libretto written by Thomas Morell. The oratorio was
devised as a compliment to the victorious Prince William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland upon his return
from the Battle of Culloden (16 April 1746). The first
performance took place on 1 April 1747 at Covent
Garden, and Judas Maccabæus became one of Handel's most popular oratorios.
Conductor Joseph Nolan and the St George's Cathedral Consort will be joined by The Musicians' Table
led by Paul Wright, and highly-acclaimed soloists
Sara Macliver, Fiona Campbell, Richard Butler, and
Andrew Foote to present this masterpiece of the Baroque choral repertoire.
A pre-concert talk will be given at 6.45pm by Dr Bill
Leadbetter, Cathedral Scholar (free to ticket holders).

WAAPA’s youthful and vibrant voices supported by
the cathedral’s magnificent organ and WAAPA’s wind,

The Messe Solenelle of Jean Langlais, one of the masterpieces of the French liturgical repertoire, has its
roots in plainsong while its demanding dramatic requirements are met by bold and powerful organ writing.
Francis Poulenc’s Gloria is one of his most celebrated
works, grand in scope, reaching back to the past while
at the same time offering the listener a joyous kaleidoscope of styles that raise us to awesome and thrilling heights.
