The Revd Dr Martin Thomas is a former Canon Precentor of St Edmundsbury Cathedral and a Church of England parish priest and academic. He holds first class degrees in Music (Edinburgh) and Theology (Oxford) and completed his PhD thesis at UEA. He has contributed many articles to scholarly and popular journals including Anglican and Episcopal History; The Church of England Newspaper; In Illo Tempore; Cathedral Music; and Art and Christian Enquiry. He also provided the ’Music’ chapter for a recent history of Wymondham Abbey and edited Five Ways of the Cross.
'Martin Thomas's new publication deals with a period of recent musical and liturgical reform. He applies a critical eye to the contributions of a great many living figures, and we can expect that forceful opinions will produce strong reactions. In circles where musical orthodoxy rubs shoulders with well-worn historic repertoire, this welcome study calls for high quality new music, written in a higher service.' Philip Wilby, University of Leeds, UK
