For the last fortnight rhe services in Westminster Abbey have been sung, in the absence of the regular choir, by the choir that broadcasts today. The trebles are parish church choirboys selected from those who have attended the instructional courses of the Royal School of Church Music, and the altos, tenors, and basses are senior boys of school choirs.
Edred Wright was a chorister in Westminster Abbey under the late Sir Sydney Nicholson, who founded the Royal School of Church Music in 1927. He is choirmaster of St. Nicholas' College, Canterbury, and a special commissioner of the Royal School of Church Music.
