Barry Smith has been associated with sacred music in South Africa and abroad for a very long time, 42 years of it as organist and master of the choristers of St George’s Anglican cathedral in Cape Town. He is renowned for his skill and experience, and has been described as a totally professional musician, whether at the grandest of organs or directing the tiniest of choirs and orchestras. He has made many memorable recordings, most connected with the organ or choir of St George’s cathedral. On top of his intense feeling for musical expression, in this collection of 72 short and trenchant poems, he gives us a deeper and all-too-brief glimpse of his emotions in relation to people and places.
