Stonyhurst’s manuscript pf carol reveals dt started life las
FEW peoplewould recognise/ the popular Christmas caroL
. "Oh come, all ye faithful"being sung in its original form. ' I t was written as a very .slow march w ith the L a t in name of Ad es te F id ele s in the 1740s by- John Francis Wade.. I t was 10 y ea rs la te r ,th a t a,
musical colleague persuaded Wade to revise it into its better known, more rousing version. Now people in Lancashire will ,
have the chance to hear the original - sung from the oldest-known copy of the original manuscript. • That copy is in the archives of
Stonyhurst College, and this year, for the first'time in living memory,, the carol will be sung at the college in the manner in which the composer first intended. The mixed choir of Stonyhurst College and St Mary's Hall will sing
the carol at their public carol service, -
■ which is being held in St Peter's ; ' Church on'December 5 th at 7-30 p.m. The congregation will be given
:a copy of the manuscript printed inside >the order of service, which,
■ they can take away afterwards. There are only five known copies ; o f the original manuscript of the
. carol, which was written by-Wade -.when he was choirmaster at Douai. College in France. :
■
. The Stonyhurst manuscript is thought to be the oldest signed and dated in existence. "There was an earlier copy," said
Jan Graffius, the college's curator, "but it was lost during-the Second : World War. - - "Our copy is in our archive, but
■
how it came to be there I haven’t the slightest idea. Perhaps it came here because Douai is a Catholic college
and so are we; i t is a very pretty publication with the staves in red ink and the notes in black."-.
’
18thrCentury a slow march
■■A Robin Higheock, director of music at the college; said: "Stonyhurst Col-: lege has always sung . Adeste Fideles, in Latin, and once more this year we ■' will be singing Wade's wonderful: words and melody. The carol, which concludes the service, will be sung • with the true Stonyhurst spirit." < ; ; As the popularity of this tune , spread, "apprentice boys whistled it -, in every street: it was even said that the blackbirds in the square joined in thechorus". ; ; The carol service will be candlelit
and all will he welcome at St Peter’s Church.

negotiating table and for the fire-fight ers to go back to work, Mr Evans said the Government should start by being clear about its position on the strike and its role in the negotiation.. , , ; : "Public safety is at risk and the Gov ernment needs to tell us what it is going to do to protect us." ■
1 ■ On Tuesday night, Clitheroe Fire
Chief Station Officer Dave McGrath stressed that Clitheroe's retained fire fighters had been on call throughout the current strike. ■ "We are responding to calls where
people’s lives are in danger. “I am a contact point at all times through the operating centre and, if:
lives are in danger, we will turn out.” . ■ He added that all the retained fire
fighters were continuing to work their contracted hours and carrying their mobile alerters.
■ ."Thankfully, in this instance, no one got hurt and praise must go to the girl and her family. I am so sorry that we are on strike.
■ “No one at the station wants to be
on strike, we just want
this.to come to an end and all I can do is ask the public to continue to be vigilant.". .
. • As we went to press, it seemed like
ly that-a Green Goddess would be deployed to Clitheroe from tomorrow.
• Extra resources coming into the coun ty were attributed to the decision.

Warning to vandals: you will not succeed
“YOU are not achieving anything” - is the mes sage to vandals who have smashed Christmas tree bulbs in Clitheroe town centre. On Monday, Coun. John McGowan said he
had picked up a dozen smashed bulbs near the White Lion hostelry and in the ginnel across from the post office. The decorations have only been up since the weekend. “I think it is appalling,” said the town coun
cillor. “On the first night the trees have been up we have already had all this vandalism. The vandals are not achieving anything by breaking bulbs.”
'
' He added: “At the end of the day it is costing Clitheroe Town Council money and it is com ing out of parents’, pockets. I am so frustrated , and fed up. Although': the problem is nothing • new, i t seems to be happening more regularly. and I do not know what we can doaboutit.” V u Cordoning,off the tree, or removing it alto-
igether. would
not.bethe solution; according to:v Coun
..Me Gowan: “We' cariilot d o' away ;wi th
the trees just because of a few idiots because doing so would spoil it for those .who enjoy iee- ing it.” However, he did suggest that the town’s new
CCTV system could provide one possible answer. “Once the cameras are up
and.working, let’s hope it achieves something,” he said.
