pwhodges Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Indeed - this is tragic and shocking news, particularly for his family. Including, I understand, an unborn child - such a lot of sadness! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Oakley Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 John's funeral service in New York commences at 11.00am and perhaps we should pause for quiet reflection here in the UK at 4.00pm BST in memory of John and the gifts and resulting pleasure he brought to so many of us.

Martin Cooke Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I am sure that it will have been a profoundly moving occasion. I think the organ world has been more rocked by John's death than by anything that I can remember. People have written so admiringly of him both as a person and a musician. I thought the tribute in Choir and Organ was especially poignant, and David Hill and Christopher Robinson have also contributed their own thoughts on the St John's website. I only met John fleetingly on one occasion, but I feel his loss to the world of organ music very keenly. I would love to see some of the scholarly members of this board commenting on the proposals for the new organ at St Thomas. A carving of John and of other St Thomas luminaries is to be included in the casework, but what about the specification? Again, I can't bear to think of the fact that John hasn't lived to see this amazing project through to its conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveHarries Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Further to my post above there is also the sermon on the St. Thomas' (NY) website: http://www.saintthomaschurch.org/calendar/events/worship/15180/solemn-funeral-liturgy-for-john-scott/sermon and the service leaflet: http://www.saintthomaschurch.org/uploads/calendar/John_Gavin_Scott_(1956-2015)1.pdf The sermon includes mention that John's wife had a son earlier this month, named towards the end of the sermon as Arthur John Gavin Scott. A fitting tribute IMO. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geoff McMahon Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Michael Barone did John Scott proud in his tribute to him mentioned above by Wolsey. If you haven't listened to it yet, I strongly recommend that you do. http://pipedreams.publicradio.org/listings/2015/1533/ John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Jose Rigby Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 A moving tribute to John Scott on The Choir (BBC R3). Very disconcerting to hear his voice in the extract from an edition of the programme some years ago which featured his work at St Thomas, Fifth Avenue. For those of you who can get BBC iPlayer, the item is about ten minutes before the end of this episode. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06flbm9They also mentioned that they are broadcasting two of his Choral Evensong broadcasts: from St Paul's on 28th October and then on 23rd December from St Thomas's Church. John Scott's life and work will be remembered at Evensong in St Paul's Cathedral, London, this Friday, 9 October, at 5 pm.https://www.stpauls.co.uk/…/john-scott-commemoration-arrang… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Jose Rigby Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 In the USA, Michael Barone has altered his Pipedreams schedule, and the next two-hour programme is in John's memory. As wolsey and John Pike Mander pointed out, we have Michael Barone of Pipedreams to thank for this excellent memoriam to John Scott. http://pipedreams.pu...ings/2015/1533/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
