About the channel

Unofficial sound archive of Guildford Cathedral Choir (1961-1974) during Barry Rose's tenure as Organist & Master of the Choristers. This archive is a private, non-commercial initiative and has no connection with Guildford Cathedral. With the exception of two uploads, this is a sound-only archive, allowing you to sit back and listen without distractions to what was, at the time, one of England's finest cathedral choirs. The choir was founded by Barry Rose in September 1960, prior to the consecration of the cathedral on 17 May 1961. He remained in post at Guildford until 1974, when he moved to St Paul's Cathedral.

Barry's autobiography is available as a Kindle download at https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sitting-Pin-Musical-Barry-Rose-ebook/dp/B09NHQ1GLJ/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=B09NHQ1GLJ&qid=1639872086&sr=8-1. ArchivesofSound is now under the auspices of the Archive of Recorded Church Music.
