Music to inspire and motivate
This afternoon I drove over to St Agnes Anglican Church at Glen Huntly to hear a concert of Sydney Carter music and poems given by Franciscus Henry.
Franciscus was communicative, talented in voice spoken and singing, and in guitar playing. The audience responded well to him. I love Carter’s music and its Quaker-ly way of thinking, of exposing hypocrisy, and of deep thought. Franciscus toured with Sydney Carter on an Australian visit so there was the added touch of some intimacy with the composer, writer and singer himself. Although Franciscus pointed out that Carter believed his music should be seen as a blueprint on which others could build. The afternoon was finished with some warm fellowship over a glass of red which was much appreciated on a very cold and blustery day.
