Precious. RIP John Gavin Scott. Your immeasurable and invaluable contribution to choral and organ music on both sides of the Atlantic can never be forgotten. SOLI DEO GLORIA
I had the privilege of singing under the baton of Gerre Hancock when he directed the annual summer school of the Royal School of Church Music in Cape Town, South Africa, 1981/1982. He was then the organist and choir master at St Thomas
I have loved choral singing since I arrived in New York City. It combines both a feeling for music and an involvement in complex musical patterns. Not to mention you are on a close personal basis with Bach, Brahms, all the great composers of choral music. If I had a son, I'd think this is a very salutary environment and an opportunity for musical and personal development.
