Mallard Music

Mallard Music is a small but growing publishing company specialising in liturgical and educational music by contemporary composers. The company strives to provide approachable music that can be performed by choirs of all sizes and includes anthems that can be sung in four parts or in unison.

A number of the educational titles contain sections that can be photocopied. Generous discounts are also available in respect of educational works, music can be supplied in A4 or A5 formats and, to reduce costs, vocal parts are available without accompaniment.

The Friends of Cathedral Music: http://www.fcm.org.uk

The Friends of Cathedral is a society of subscribing members, both nationwide and overseas, whose aim is to assist cathedrals in maintaining their traditional sung services and to increase public appreciation of these unique choral acts of worship. Gatherings are held throughout the year at cathedrals, abbeys, chapels and churches where there are regular sung services. As well as attending services, members have the opportunity to listen to the choirs rehearsing, attend talks by the Directors of Music and clergy, tour the buildings, listen to organ recitals and demonstrations and to meet informally afterwards. The society's excellent web site contains information on services at cathedrals and other notable foundations throughout the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.

Information is available by e-mail or by post from The Membership Secretary, 61 Leigh Gardens, London, NW10 5HN. Tel / Fax: 0181 9693907.
