twins or triplets as choristers in UK cathedrals
FEARNLEY
A friend of mine is keen to find out whether there are any present or
past occurrences of twins or triplets singing in UK cathedral choirs.
Does any one have any information, or clues how to find out?

The twins Finn, who have gone on to write the Sibelius program were both at
King's Cambridge. I was a chorister at Windsor Castle with the twin Butt
Children (Butt pere is principal flautist for the BBC symphony).

A child with twin Butts - that must be something to see! ; )

Just wait a few years, in the light of the present news we'll have
centuplets singing everywhere :_)

What a fascinating question though. Please, if you have a knowledgeable
answer reply. I would love to know.

I may be incorrect in this, as I haven't actually done any research
myself, but theoretically, two identical tones produced at the same
time will cancel each other out, and no net sound will be produced.
Sounds pretty cool to me, but who knows if this is really true...?

A friend, who was a member of the Westminster Abbey Choir between 1975-79,
remembers there being at leas two sets of twins in the choir during that
period. For further information, you could try contacting via any
cathedral choir the Assoc of Cathedral Old Choristers.
I don't have the address offhand, but email if you want it, and I shall
find out.

It is interesting to note that in todays Dail mail (UK tabloid
newspaper) that there is an item about the Stockwell triplets who
have just been accepted at Salisbury Cathedral. Since they likewise
hail from Poole any link perchance.

This would only happen when the two tones are exactly out of phase with each
other, and produced heard at the same point. This could be aco,mplished on a
computer, but the human head has two ears, therefore two points....]

Only if they are 180 degrees out of phase with each other. If they are
totally in phase they will be louder.

Got it in one! The Stockwells are the (as yet un-internetted) friends
and are obviously delighted with this achievement.

There are a set of twins at Chichester cathedral at present, and there have
been other pairs in the not too distant past. I have never come across
triplets though.
