Title
Repertoire for girls' choirs.
Date
1997
Description
Papers regarding Bernarr Rainbow's attempts at finding alternatives for girls' choirs in the church. Includes draft of letter from Dr Rainbow to Mary Berry, suggesting the introduction of SSA repertoire to give girls' choirs distinct identity, specifically to keep them separate from male voices and away from cathedral choirs. ('The wretched business of the so-called ordination of women is a close relation, of course'). Also includes manuscript notes on SSA repertoire and sources, two copies of short article "Notes on the liturgical future of girls' choirs" and the copy of an SATB score of Missa San Marco.
