We hope that you, the reader, will d it informative and entertaining. Dne of the benefits of the Review in these uncertain times is that it has lengthened links, both within our Association and without. It is pleasing hear that choristers have joined with their contemporaries from other ioir Schools in special services and recitals, and to note that our sports ture list has also increased. Our connections with the Public Schools ve never been stronger (helped no doubt by Alan Mould's chairmanship I.A.P.S.) and we greatly apprecime the opportunities they provide by ry of their Music Scholarships. In some parts of the country, provision for music in the State schools has ffered considerable cuts and so now the Tele of specialist music schools, :h as the Choir Schools in the maintained sector, is of particular portance. The Bishop of Taunton wrote recently to The Times about !se 'economies': if we do not give priority to music, particularly the musical education of our children. we do not merely affect a leisure activity or a curriculum subject: we endanger the soul of our nation.' As for our musicianship, it has been most encouraging to learn of the di quality of the entries for the new Choir Schools' Composition wrinetition. and we would like to thank Dr. Lionel Dakers and Sir David Mocks for acting as judges and The Friends of Cathedral Music for raiding the beautiful silver salver. In our 1982 issue, the Choristers of St. Paul's Cathedral gave us their rsion of The Royal Wedding; in this issue, we have eye-witness accounts Pope John Paul's historic visits to Canterbury and Liverpool.
