There are some organists and choir masters who have remained in the same post for a considerable length of time. These include Paul Morgan (Exeter Cathedral), John Scott Whiteley (York Minster), Stephen Cleobury (King's, Cambridge), Stephen Darlington (Christchurch, Oxford), James Lancelot (Durham), Alan Thurlow (Chichester), Ian Tracey (Liverpool).
A question that I have long mulled over without coming to any conclusions one way or the other is this. Is a lengthy tenure for an organist or choirmaster good or bad (i) for him and (ii) the institution where he works?
