Message from the Mayor of Guildford

[ am delighted that, once again, the Rotary Club of Guildford is supporting the Mayor’s Distress Fund

by holding this wonderful Christmas Concert this afternoon.
Although Surrey is deemed to be a wealthy county, and Guildford a wealthy Borough, there are still
many people who struggle on a daily basis to make ends meet.

They manage to budget for food and

heating etc, but when a growing child needs new shoes or a school uniform, it can drive them to the
edge of despair as there is never enough money over to save for these items.

Maybe the cooker breaks

down irreparably or the fridge — this is where the Mayor’s Distress Fund comes into its own.
The Fund provides small sums of money to those in genuine need to help solve the crisis. All applicants

are referred by statutory organisations such as the Social Services, by Charities, Councillors or similar
bodies so every penny is well spent.
[ am sure that you will respond generously to help those less fortunate in our community.
Many, many thanks!

I wish you all a joyful Christmas and every happiness for 2003.

Cllr. Tony Phillips

AUDIENCE CAROLS
ONCE IN ROYAL DAVID'S CITY

How that in Bethlehem was born
The son of God by name:

Solo

Once in royal David's city

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

Stood a lowly cattle shed,

O tidings of comfort andjoy.

Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for his bed:

The shepherds at those tidings

Mary was that mother mild

Rejoiced much in mind,

Jesus Christ her little child.

And left their flocks a-feeding,
In tempest, storm and wind,

Choir

He came down to earth fromheaven

And went to Bethlehem straightway

only

Who i1s God and Lord of all,

This blessed babe to find:

And his shelter was a stable

O tidings of comfort andjoy, comfort andjoy

And his cradle was a stall;

O tidings of comfort and joy.

With the poor, and meak, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Saviour Holy.

Choir

But when to Bethlehem they came, only
Wherat this infant lay,

All

And through all his wonderous

They found him in a manger,

childhood

Where oxen feed on hay;

He would honour and obey,

His mother Mary kneeling,

Love, and watch the holy maiden,

Unto the Lord did pray:

In whose gentle arms he lay;

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

Christian children all must be

O tidings of comfort andjoy.

Mild, obedient, good as he.
Now to the Lord sing praises,

Not in that poor lowly stable,

All you within this place,

With the oxen standing by,

And with true love and brotherhood

We shall see him; but in heaven,

Each other now embrace;

Set at God's right hand on high;

This holy tide of Christmas

When like stars his children crowned

All others doth deface:

All in white shall wait around.

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy.

GOD REST YOU MERRY, GENTLEMEN
God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
For Jesus Christ our Saviour

Was born upon this day,
To save us all from Satan’s power,
When we were gone astray:
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy.

From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came,
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same,

O COME, ALL YE FAITHFUL
O come, all ye faithful
Joyful and Triumphant.

O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem;
Come and behold him,
Born the King of Angels;

O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
Christ the Lord.

God of God,
Light of Light,

Very God, Begotten, not created;

This the Christmas story;

O come, let us adore him,

And O that Mary’s gentle child

O come, let us adore him,

Might lead us up to glory

O come, let us adore him,

Might lead us up to glory!

Christ the Lord.

Yea, Lord, we greet thee

flocks by night,

Born this happy morning,

All seated on the ground,

Jesu, to thee be glory given;

The Angel of the Lord came down,

Word of the Father,

And glory shone around.

Now in flesh appearing;
O come, let us adore him,

Fear not, said he for mighty dread

O come, let us adore him,

Had seized their troubled mind;

O come, let us adore him,

Glad tidings of great joy I bring

Christ the Lord.

To you and all mankind.

To you in David’s town this day

UNTO US IS BORN A SON
Unto us is born a Son,
King of quires supernal:
See on earth his life begun,
Of lords the Lord eternal,

Of lords the Lord eternal.

Choir

Christ, from heav’n descending low,

only

Comes on earth a stranger;
Ox and ass their owner know,
Be cradled in a manger,
Be cradled in a manger.

Men

This did Herod sore affray,

only

And greviously bewilder,
So he gave the word to slay,
And slew the little childer,
And slew the little childer.

Is born of David’s line

A Saviour, who 1s Christ the Lord;
And this shall be a sign.

The heavenly babe you there shall find

To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid.

Thus spake the Seraph, and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of Angels praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song.

All glory be to God on high,
And on the earth be peace;

Goodwill henceforth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease.

Hail the Sun of Righteousness!

And fit us for heaven,

Light and life to all he brings,

to live with thee there.

Risen with healing in his wings;

Mild he lays his glory by,
Born that man no more may die,
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
Hark! the herald-angels sing

Glory to the new-born King.

THE ROTARY CLUB OF GUILDFORD
The Rotary Club ofGuildford was formed in 1921 and was the 50th club to become established in Great Britain and Ireland.

By the early 1920s,
the rapidly growing Rotarian movement already boasted more than 100 clubs in the USA but only six existed in the United Kingdom.
Today,

there are 1500 clubs with one million members nationwide and more than 20,000 Rotary clubs worldwide. There are also two other clubs in
Guildford besides the original Guildford club — the Guildford District club and the Guildford Chantries club.

Just after its foundation in the 1920s, one of the carliest fund-raising projects for the Guildford Rotary club was the ‘Big Brother scheme’, which
was launched to help youngsters who had lost their fathers during the First World War.

In 1927, another fund-raising scheme successfully raised
enough money to purchase and place one of the ‘new fangled’ radio sets in Guildford’s hospitals for the patients to enjoy.

Most memorable of all the wartime activities was the reception of the Dunkirk survivors as they arrived home at Guildford Station in the

summer of 1940. For five days, troop trains carrying a total of 200,000 men stopped at the town’s station and helpers from Rotary, WVS, Round
Table and the Salvation Army operated a duty shift system to meet each train and attend to the needs of the war-weary soldiers.
In the 1950s and 60s, the Rotary Club of Guildford played a significant role in the establishment of the University of Surrey and the building of

the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre within the Borough.

Current projects being undertaken by the Club at the present time include the training of eye surgeons and providing vital equipment for the

Calcutta Eye Hospital; Funding Scouts to work in Central Africa digging fresh water wells; Sending everyday necessities for use in disaster zones
all over the world; Establishing mobile life education centres for schools; Helping school leavers prepare for job or college interviews and
finally, raising money for the Mayor of Guildford’s Distress Fund, which provides financial assistance for the needy within the Borough of
Guildford, particularly around Christmas time.

THE GUILDFORD PHILHARMONIC CHOIR
The Guildford Philharmonic Choir was founded in 1947 by the Borough of Guildford to perform major works from the choral repertoire with the
Guildford Philharmonic Orchestra. Over half
a century, the Choir has grown in stature and reputation and can now rightly claim its place as
one ofthe foremost choruses in the country, having performed under the batons of such eminent British musicians as Sir Charles Groves, Vernon
Handley and Sir David Willcocks. ~ Sir David remains in close contact with the Choir and is currently its President.

The Choir is now independent from the Guildford Borough Council but maintains close links with the Guildford Philharmonic Orchestra, with
joint performances once a year.

In the past five years, the Choir’s repertoire has included Elgar’s Dream of Gerontius, a widely acclaimed performance of Mahler’s Symphony

No.2 (‘Resurrection’), Bruckner’s Mass in E Minor, Haydn’s Creation, Bach’s St.Matthew Passion (sung in German), Mozart’s Mass in C. Minor,
Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem, Vaughan Williams’ A Sea Symphony, Handel’s Messiah and Hadyn’s ‘Nelson” Mass.

The Philharmonic Choir’s concert in Guildford Cathedral on April 6th. 2002 was originally planned to celebrate the Queen’s Golden Jubilee but
following the death of HM Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother one week earlier, we retained the original repertoire and dedicated the
performance to a celebration of the Queen Mother’s life.
Beginning with Benjamin Britten’s wonderful arrangement of the National Anthem,

it became a truly memorable tribute.
A month later, the Choir ended its season with a performance of Mendlessohn’s Elijah.

Outside our usual choral experience, a group from the
Choir provided the backing for the tenor Russell Watson at concerts at the Royal Albert Hall and the Brighton Centre.

Last October, we welcomed members of the Freiburg Bachchor for a performance of Dvorak’s rarely heard Requiem at Guildford Cathedral and
the following month, some members of the Choir travelled to Freiburg to give a repeat performance of this work ~ The concert at the Cathedral
opened with Bruch’s Violin Concerto No 1 in G Minor played by the incredibly talented 14-year-old Guildford-born Chloe Hanslip.

The Choir’s major venture of the season will take place at Guildford Cathedral on May 17th. 2003, when there will be a unique chance to hear
Mahler’s Symphony No.8 in E flat (Veni Creator Spiritus), popularly known as the ‘Symphony of
a Thousand”.

The Choir is always looking for new members, especially sopranos and tenors, and prospective members are welcome to come along to rehearsals
on a Monday evening in central Guildford on an informal basis, before committing to an audition.
If you would like any further information
about the Choir or its forthcoming season, please contact Noreen Ayton, our membership secretary on 01932-221918.

THE GUILDFORD SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
In recent years, the Guildford Symphony Orchestra has become increasingly prominent in the musical world of the Guildford area.

Under its
musical director Darrell Davison, it’s an amateur orchestra with an excellent reputation, providing a considerable variety of music- making for

both audiences and players alike.
Encouraging young people to play and enjoy great music is high amongst the Orchestra’s aims and to that end, it organises the annual Jellink
Award Concert for young artists, enabling five of the most promising instrumentalists to play a concerto movement. Audiences at these concerts

are often able to spot a future virtuoso or two. Through its recent partnership with the Guildford Borough Council, the GSO has been
introducing children to orchestral music at its Family Concerts on Saturday mornings, which have proved deservedly popular. Every other year,

the GSO invites local children to become composers themselves, writing Carols for Christmas or Easter and having them performed at a major
concert.

In June this year, the Orchestra took part in the County’s Royal Jubilee celebrations with an outdoor concert at Loseley Park in the presence of

the Earl and Countess of Wessex.

Another feature of the Orchestra’s activities is its support for charitable causes.

JEREMY BACKHOUSE
Jeremy began his musical career at Canterbury Cathedral, where he was Head Chorister and later studied music at Liverpool
University. He spent five years as Music Editor at the Royal National Institute for the Blind, where he was responsible for the
transcription of printed music into Braille. In 1986, he joined EMI Records as a Literary Editor and since 1990 has combined his work
as the EMI Classics Consultant Editor with his career as a freelance conductor and record producer.
In 1995, Jeremy was appointed Chorus Master of the Guildford Philharmonic Choir and in the same year was invited to conduct the
BBC Singers for the first time, subsequently conducting them for several broadcast performances.

His recent work has included directing the Kent Youth Choir and the Kent Chamber Choir in 1996, and working with the Brighton
Festival Chorus as an assistant conductor. In September 1998, Jeremy became the Musical Director of the Woburn Singers, becoming
only the third conductor to work with this particular choir in its distinguished thirty year history.

DARRELL DAVISON
Darrell Davison has been Musical Director of the Guildford Symphony Orchestra since 1990. He was a music scholar at Charterhouse
and studied music at Cambridge, where he conducted several orchestras and founded another one. He has also been principal cello
with the Ulster Orchestra. After winning the Sir John Barbirolli conducting competition in 1979, he conducted both the London
Symphony and London Philharmonic Orchestras and was subsequently commissioned to compose new works for each of them.
Following the death of his father in 1992, Darrell was appointed as musical director of the Croydon Symphony Orchestra and the

popular Arthur Davison Family Concerts at the Fairfield Halls, with which he has been connected for many years. He is also currently
musical director of the Little Symphony of London.

As a composer, Darrell has also written and orchestrated film scores for the London Symphony Orchestra and last month, his new
violin concerto Visions of Parnassus was given its premiere performance at Guildford's Civic Hall by the Guildford Symphony
Orchestra.
