AD MAIOREM DEI GLORIAM
A WEEKEND OF SACRED MUSIC
Flagstone Farm, Stow on the Wold
2nd - 4th July 2010

This weekend will explore one of the most significant aspects of the Western 
Musical Tradition: music composed for religious worship and in praise of God. 
There will be a variety of composers and styles, from the Renaissance polyphony 
of Palestrina to the modern styles of Arvo Pärt and Igor Stravinsky. Among the 
other great composers to be featured will be Bruckner, Haydn, Bach, Handel and Verdi.
Flagstone Farm is set in twelve acres of idyllic fields and woodland rich in 
wildlife. The setting is picturesque with superb views over the North Cotswold 
countryside, and the town of Stow on the Wold is just two miles away. The farm 
has been tastefully converted in order to maintain many of the original features, 
such as exposed beams and stonework. 

Terry Barfoot writes widely on music for Britain’s leading journals, orchestras, 
festivals and record companies. A well-known figure in the musical life of southern 
England, he lectures at Oxford and other universities, and is Publications 
Consultant to the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.

Gwyn Parry-Jones studied with David Wynne and Alun Hoddinott, and graduated from 
Manchester University and the Royal Northern College of Music. He played for some 
years with the Halle and BBC Philharmonic Orchestras, and for many years lectured 
at Reading University, leaving recently to concentrate on his musical interests, 
principally conducting, performing and lecturing.

Course members will arrive on Friday from 5pm, and depart after tea on Sunday. 
Arts in Residence offers an excellent cuisine with four course dinners and wine, 
and a traditional Sunday lunch. The weekend is designed as an informal 'house party'. 
Guests need only the ability to enjoy music; no technical knowledge is required.




Price: £270.00 per person (twin/double rooms), £295.00 (single rooms)
to include all meals, wine, beverages, course fees and accommodation.
Booking: Arts in Residence, 25, Mulberry Lane, Cosham, Portsmouth, PO6 2QU.  
£50.00 per person deposit with booking. (Cheques payable to Arts in Residence Ltd.)
