For more than a century the liturgy in Westminster Cathedral has given inspiration and joy to hundreds of thousands of worshippers from all over the world. At its centre is the Cathedral Choir, one of the finest in existence. It was started in 1902 by the Cathedral’s founder, Cardinal Vaughan, who wanted the liturgy to be of the highest possible standard, an example to the country and the world. To achieve this he opened the residential Cathedral Choir School which he saw as the foundation stone of the Cathedral’s sung worship. Unfortunately, however, the musical quality of its boy choristers now faces a serious threat.
