Voluntary    Resquiescat in pace      Leo Sowerby (1895-1968)

Leo Sowerby began to compose at the age of 10. His interest in the organ began to teach himself at the age of 15. He studied and taught at the American Conservatory of Music, received the 1946 Pulitzer Prize for Music for his cantata, the Canticle of the Sun, and was the first composer to receive the Rome Prize from the American Academy. His substantial output includes over 500 works in every genre but opera and ballet. After his retirement as organist and choirmaster from St. James Episcopal Cathedral in Chicago, he was called to Washington National Cathedral to become the founding director of the College of Church Musicians, a position he held until his death.

Andrew Clarkson studied at Harvard College and he has a doctorate in Organizational Behavior from Boston University. In his late twenties, Andy confessed to his brother-in-law that he imagined one of the regrets of his life would be having never sung in a choir. Upon hearing this, his brother-in-law steered him in the direction of voice lessons, and Andy never looked back! In 1994, he joined the Trinity Choir in Copley Square, Boston under the leadership of Brian Jones. Singing at Trinity ignited Andy’s composing interest. He is currently Director of Music and Organist at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Brookline, Massachusetts.
