A choirboy from Worcester Cathedral was sent to London to audition for Mr Handel who was well known as a good judge of voice.
The Boy sang.
"Is this how you praise God in Worcester"?, Handel asked.
"Yes Mr Handel", replied the boy.
"God is Good", Handel replied, "and no doubt he will hear your praises in Worcester, but no man will hear them in London
-- George Frederik Handel
