Über Autor(innen)

On retirement from a teaching career as Director of Music at Radley College, Oxfordshire and Glenalmond College, Perthshire, Robert Gower worked as Organist at St Barnabas Catholic Cathedral, Nottingham, before moving in 2019 to become Director of Music at Berwick-upon-Tweed parish church. His commitment to English twentieth-century repertoire is reflected through his founding and leadership of the Percy Whitlock Trust until its copyright income ceased and in hisongoing Chairmanship of the Gerald Finzi Charitable Trust. He specialises in transcribing music for organ and in liturgical composition.
