Obituary

We were all saddened to hear of the death of Sir John Dykes-Bower, the former organist of St Paul‘s Cathedral. His prominence in the world of English Church Music (and beyond) during the middle years of this century is well-known, as is his adherence to the highest standards of performance in the many areas of music-making with which he was concerned during a long and active career. Poor health in later years did not dim his interest, and his support of and enthusiasm for BIOS were a great encouragement to us. Our sympathies go to Sir John‘s family, and close friends.

The Memorial Service for Sir John Dykes-Bower will be held at St Paul‘s Cathedral, on Wednesday, September 23rd at 5.00 p.m. N.J.T.
