I don't know if it was Scott's preference or the combination of Andrew 
Mead and Scott, but I have to say I lost alot of interest in the St 
Thomas music program under their approach. I really got alot out of the 
approach under Gerre Hancock -- lots of Victoriana.

That may have also reflected Fr. John Andrew's preference; Scott dived 
into some of the Renaissance composers like Vittoria et al.

I, for one, think that's a waste of talent for a good M&B choir.

We worshipped there often when Andrew/Hancock were running things -- 
lots of weekday Evensongs, and occasional Sunday mornings. The Scott era 
just didn't cut it for me.

Once things settle in -- we'll check things out there again. Cheers, Jim
