Note
Three items. Besides the programme there is a note signed by H. L. B. Moody on the 5th of September, 1961 addressed to the members of St. Albans Bach Choir regarding the rehearsal dates for this concert and the date for the annual general meeting. There is another paper for the agenda to be discussed at that meeting in which it says: "To consider the following proposal: that the series of Orchestral Concerts which Mr Hurford is planning to arrange in the Abbey during the coming autumn should be sponsored by the St. Albans Bach [Choir]".
