Extract

Used geographically, the title “Chapel of King Henry VI” may naturally turn the mind, especially the musical mind, to King's Chapel at Cambridge; but, as you will have seen from the printed syllabus, I am using the title in the historical sense, as applied to the Chapel of St. George in Windsor Castle, the chapel in which Henry worshipped, and for which he actually wrote music.
