The presenter of this web page was a member of the Chapel Choir from 1964 on. He remembers well the Holst Choral Fantasia described in the interview linked at the top of this page. The beginning of the text offers a fitting memorial: "Rejoice, ye dead, where'er your spirits dwell / Rejoice that yet on earth your fame is bright / And that your names, remember'd day and night, / Live on the lips of those that love you well."
