WEST GALLERY MUSIC WITH FRANCIS
ROADS
Tutor: Francis Roads
Standard Range: Intermediate
Friday 22 - Sunday 24 May 2015
Due to popular demand, Francis Roads returns for another of his courses on West Gallery
Music. The music is joyful, rewarding and easy church music, sung in town and country during
the 18th and 19th centuries to whatever instrumental accompaniment might be available.
Francis Roadss course is especially suitable for singers who feel that they need practice
in holding a part, and players of wind and bowed string instruments who would welcome
ensemble experience. West Gallery music will be of special interest to choirs looking to
expand their repertoire with straightforward but rewarding material

teaching career he made great use of Renaissance music as an
introduction to classical ensemble playing for young musicians.
Francis also edits and performs West Gallery Church Music, and
in 1997 he founded the London Gallery Quire. In 2002 he was
awarded a PhD by Liverpool University for his thesis on some
Manx West Gallery manuscripts.
