The Sub-Organist’s duties primarily involve accompanying the traditional, liturgical services of Choral Eucharist every Sunday morning – 8.15am rehearsal for a 9am service – and Choral Evensong on the fourth Sunday of the month – 3.45pm rehearsal for a 5pm service during the winter months; 5.15pm rehearsal for a 6.30pm service during the summer months).
These services take place at the largest of the Minster locations in Church Street, (St Peter & Paul’s Church), on the fine, three-manual, William Hill organ working alongside the Organist & Master of the Choristers, who selects hymns and choral repertoire, and directs the Minster Choir. The service pattern includes major festivals throughout the year (which are held in the evenings when these fall on weekdays) as well as occasional civic services, special services, and occasional services at one of the other Minster churches. The Minster Choir from time to time covers weekend services at Cathedrals (recently Chichester, Winchester and Guildford) as well as by invitation at other churches in the area.
