<p>Tallis and Byrd with a bit of Sweelinck thrown in are the big passions of the moment. Next year for all I know it might be Bach and mathematics. My daughter has ‘dilettante’ written all over her i.e., she is good enough academically reasonably to assume that she would be a credible candidate for Yale Directed Reading with some music thrown in to keep the spirit alive, but she is clearly not at a School of Music standard in voice or cello although probably good enough for participation in a chorus or student orchestra. For that reason I think Mathematic/Philosophy/Music at Williams rather than Directed Reading at Yale plus music might suit her better. In the end I think if Prof Bloxsam would take her on in early music–for which she has both the interest and the languages–she would probably be trained well enough to sing at Exeter if she gets there via the Williams at Oxford route.</p>
<p>As for “high anglican” colleges, with an Evnsong tradition the only one I know about is Sewanee. How would that compare to Williams once you get beyond issues of reputation?</p>
