I am not a deeply religious man nor am I given to writing
in the newsletter (there are far more able writers
to give room to than me in these few pages) but it
was impossible not to be moved by Sunday’s service
conducted in the Abbey ruins.
To what extent the talent that our pupils exhibit is natural,
whether Battle Abbey simply attracts creative and
talented pupils, or to what extent these qualities are
instilled by our exceptionally talented performing arts
team, I couldn’t say. Many of the pupils singing in the
Chamber Choir would have been familiar to anyone
attending the recent Summer Concert and the variety
of musical disciplines the pupils who come through the
School achieve excellence in, is testament to the effort
of John Langridge and his team.
As Mr Clark pointed out as part of the Ceremony we are about say goodbye to another year of pupils and the fabulous quality that these talented
youngsters bring to events like this will be sorely missed. The Novices room in the ruined Abbey made for a fabulously evocative setting and I was
certain that the fantastic acoustics of the vaulted ceiling might create the perfect resonance to convince the Monks who lived and worshipped in
the Abbey to make a guest appearance. As one observer commented Bruckner had never sounded better, and more than one of the congregation
was moved to tears. As the wind picked up and the sun set Max Maher gave a fantastically evocative reading drawing on some of the skills he
has picked up starring in local renditions of Macbeth, to deliver a piece originally written about the monolithic Stones at Stanton Drew. The living
breathing aspect of the stones resonated well within a ruined Abbey steeped in religious History.
Many of the boarding house had already left and with some 60 attending the service it felt very private and somehow fitting. I have no doubt that
should this location become a regular aspect of Evensong, it could well become one of the highlights of the School calendar. James Dennett - editor
