trivia

Guess this is why Jack Sparrow occasionally refers to Will Turner as a soprano or castrato, since they can be seen as the female counterpart of a countertenor. Since this is merely my own wiki-inexperienced speculation, I hereby leave the decision whether it's trivia-worthy or not to others. 85.145.200.130 (talk) 17:25, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Further info in St. Margaret page?

I'm unclear if it's the same person or not, but there's an open-ended note of an appointment that may refer to this individual in the page on the St. Margaret, Westminster page under the topic of their music directors/organisms. It would be consistent with his other positions--St. Margaret's was the church used by the House of Commons from 1614 onwards--and might extend his timeline a bit, since this article seems to just stop without further info on him, as well.

Obviously, it's also a common enough name that it might be wrong, but perhaps worth exploring. 108.7.186.137 (talk) 14:00, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
