The Martyrdom of St Alban - St Albans Film Festival Animations 2014
A Walk Through the City of London from Barbican to London Bridge, England - 14th June, 2014
This film features a walk through the City of London, starting at the Barbican Estate and finishing at the Southwark side of London Bridge. It highlights the varied architecture of the city including the 1960s brutalist buildings of the Barbican Estate, to the high-tech glass skyscrapers and historic gothic, regency and classic buildings, monuments and statues. Part of the film has been made on the high level walkways which stem from the Barbican estate, allowing an elevated view of the surroundings. From London Walls the film goes to street level. If you are visiting London and would like to see the sights for yourself, the best way is to walk, rather than take public transport. This walk is one I would definitely recommend.
In the film, the following sights, streets and features are highlighted: Beech Street Tunnel, Cromwell Place, Cromwell Tower, The Barbican Centre, Lakeside Terrace, Gilbert House, Barbican Highwalks, Silk Street, Gilbert Bridge, City of London School for Girls, Lauderdale Place, Defoe House, Willoughby House, Andrewes House, Moor House, Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Andrewes Highwalk, Speed House, St. Giles Cripplegate, Tower 42, The Leadenhall Building (Cheesegrater), The Shard, The Gherkin, 1 Coleman Street, 40 Basinghall Street, City Place House, 125 London Wall, Alban Highwalk, Wood Street, 88 Wood Street, London Wall, City of London Police Headquarters, The Tower of St. Alban's, Gresham Street, St. Lawrence Jewry Church, Guildhall Library, London Guildhall, Guildhall Art Gallery, Guildhall Buildings, Mayor's & City of London Court, Basinghall Street, Bank of China, Bank of England, Mansion House, Lombard Street, Royal Exchange, Royal Fusiliers' War Memorial, J.H.

Saint Alban is venerated as the first recorded British Christian martyr, and is considered to be the British protomartyr.Along with his fellow saints Amphibalus, Julius, and Aaron, Alban is one of four named martyrs recorded from Roman Britain.He is traditionally believed to have been beheaded in the Roman city of Verulamium sometime during the 3rd or 4th century, and his cult has been celebrated there since ancient times.

St Peters church, St Albans.
I visited St Albans a while ago one Saturday, and noticed that there was a wedding at St Peters. I decided to chance it and came back later on, discovered the tower entrance and introduced myself. The locals were about to ring the back eight for the exit of the bride but they were very nice and let me have a rope, so they rang nine! Here is a section from a very long set of call changes on nine during which the striking was rather good, and for which the conductor kept the numbering of the bells as they would be if we were ringing ten, which was occasionally confusing! The bells were cast in 1993 by Whitechapel Bellfoundry, the tenor weighs 24-0-3 and is in Eb.

Come, let us all unite to sing - St Alban the Martyr Church, Holborn, London (Compton organ)
#comptonorgan #churchorgan #pipeorgan
Me playing the organ at St Alban the Martyr Church in Holborn, London.
The organ was built in 1961 by the John Compton Organ Company Ltd and is one of the last completely new large instruments to be built by Compton before they focused solely on building electronic instruments which were also in production at the same time as this instrument was built.
The organ is installed in 3 chambers in the west gallery and is said to be the loudest instrument in London. Unlike other instruments, this organ differed to what was the usual standard practice for Compton in that there is only one rank extended on each division and only the swell and choir divisions enclosed. The specification reads:

Change ringing at St. Albans
A band ringing changes on Pentecost, 8 June 2014 at the Cathedral and Abbey Church of St. Alban. Many of these timbers in the central tower remain from the 11th and 12th century Norman phase. At one point you can see some tags on unused ropes swaying--the movement of the tower! Outside it was a spectacular day--a western view into Hertfordshire.

The composer wrote: St. Giles, 9th century, with 150 churches dedicated in his honor in Great Britain. He is the patron Saint of Cripples and the Indigent. St. Chad, bishop of Northumbria, died in 672 at Lichfield where he founded a monstery. St. Richard of Chichester, Bishop 1244, died in Dover 1253. He became chancellor of his university. St. Thomas of Hereford, Bishop at Hambleden in Buckinghampshire, died in 1282; educated at Oxford and ordained a priest by Pope Innocent IV. St. Dunstan, Bishop, born near Glastonbury in 909. He restored monastic life at Glastonbury which had ceased to exist since the Scandinavian invasions. In 959 he was made Archbishop of Canterbury. St. Cuthbert, Bishop, died 687, buried at Lindisfarne. His remains were removed after the Viking Raids. His remains were placed in Durham Cathedral. In 1827, the medieval shrine was rediscovered in Durham. St. Charles, died in 949 at Glastonbury. A monk who had visions of the Holy Family. Many miracles of healing have been attributed to this saint. St. Alban is venerated as the first martyr in the island of Britain. He was martyred in 209. St. Joseph of Arimathaea, 1st century. The Apostle Paul sent Joseph to be a missionary in the Island of Britain, whose first church he founded at Glastonbury. St. William of Norwich died in Norwich in 1144. William was venerated locally as a martyr after his mutilated body was found in a wood outside Norwich. He was 12 years old when he died. St. Robert of Newminster died 1159. He was accepted by S.t Bernard of Clairvaux into the Cistercian Order and then at Newminster. St. Peter of Salisbury died in Kent in 542. He was an assistant of the Augustinian Friars, founded in 520.
Australian composer Robert Allworth (1943–2017) wrote a large body of music in a personal and distinctive style that made him a significant Australian musical figure in his generation. Much of Allworth's output was inspired by Roman Catholicism and a deep devotion to the saints. Other works are inspired by ancient civilizations, literary classics, and a variety of diverse subjects. A remarkable sound painter of mood and atmosphere, Allworth’s musical language blended serial technique with romantic/impressionist harmonies and a kind of tranquil spiritual ecstasy. He said: “To me, music must convey something about life, or create a poetic mood.” For many years, Allworth was active as a record producer, releasing over 100 CD recordings of music by many Australian composers on the Jade label. He collaborated quite actively with the Sydney Mandolins in an enormous series of compositions for mandolin as solo and chamber instrument. In 1997, he received the prestigious Order of Australia Medal for his work as a composer and for his work as an advocate for the music of his homeland.

SUMMARY
=======
Anglicanism is a Western Christian tradition which has developed from the practices, liturgy and identity of the Church of England following the English Reformation.Adherents of Anglicanism are called Anglicans. The majority of Anglicans are members of national or regional ecclesiastical provinces of the international Anglican Communion, which forms the third-largest Christian communion in the world, after the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. They are in full communion with the See of Canterbury, and thus the Archbishop of Canterbury, whom the communion refers to as its primus inter pares (Latin, first among equals). He calls the decennial Lambeth Conference, chairs the meeting of primates, and the Anglican Consultative Council. Some churches that are not part of the Anglican Communion or recognized by the Anglican Communion also call themselves Anglican, including those that are part of the Continuing Anglican movement and Anglican realignment.Anglicans base their Christian faith on the Bible, traditions of the apostolic Church, apostolic succession (historic episcopate) and the writings of the Church Fathers. Anglicanism forms one of the branches of Western Christianity, having definitively declared its independence from the Holy See at the time of the Elizabethan Religious Settlement. Many of the new Anglican formularies of the mid-16th century corresponded closely to those of contemporary Protestantism. These reforms in the Church of England were understood by one of those most responsible for them, Thomas Cranmer, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and others as navigating a middle way between two of the emerging Protestant traditions, namely Lutheranism and Calvinism.In the first half of the 17th century, the Church of England and its associated Church of Ireland were presented by some Anglican divines as comprising a distinct Christian tradition, with theologies, structures, and forms of worship representing a different kind of middle way, or via media, between Protestantism and Roman Catholicism – a perspective that came to be highly influential in later theories of Anglican identity and expressed in the description of Anglicanism as Catholic and Reformed. The degree of distinction between Protestant and Catholic tendencies within the Anglican tradition is routinely a matter of debate both within specific Anglican churches and throughout the Anglican Communion.
