Organists' Review Magazine March 2013 Back Issue

As you can see from Martin Cottam’s design on the cover, 2013 is the centenary of the Incorporated Association of Organists. What initially started out as a small group of like-minded individuals has grown into the worldwide organisation it is today. John Brook formalised the IAO and his version of events, written in 1921, can be found on page 6 – I wish he was still alive as he sounds quite a character! This article also inspired the A3 pull-out as Dr J. Naylor, then organist at York Minster, was the principal guest speaker at the first organists’ convention. Rapidly moving ahead to the present, I went up to Durham to interview the new President-Elect – James Lancelot. Gerdi Troskie also keeps us on topic by introducing three pieces written by IAO past-Presidents.
