OPY

Dr. Lindsay Arthur Lafford

Dr. Lindsay Arthur Lafford, Professor Emeritus, was born in Gloucester, England, in 1912 and served as chorister in Hereford Cathedral from 1922 to 1929. He then became an organ scholar there and assistant of Sir Percy Hull, D. Mus., until 1935. In that year he left England to assume the positions of Organist and Choirmaster of St. John’s Cathedral, Hong Kong, and conductor of the HK Philharmonic and Chorus.

In 1939 he was invited to the U.S.A. to teach at Haverford, Swarthmore, and Bryn Mawr Colleges, serving also as University Organist and Director of Music in the Chapel at Princeton. Following service in the United States Navy during World War II, Lafford was a member of the faculties of several colleges and universities —and organist of St. John’s Cathedral, Jacksonville, Florida—until retiring from the University of Miami in 1994.

His extensive conducting career has included eight significant premières of works by Harold Darke, Gordon Jacob, Sir George Dyson, Gustav Holst, and Sir Edward Elgar (“Coronation Ode”). In 1954 he conducted the American première of Vaughan Williams’ Hodie, the composer’s last choral composition.

He holds the degree Doctoris in Litteris Humanoribus and is a Fellow of the Royal College of Organists (plus the Choirmaster’s Diploma), a Fellow of Trinity College, London, and of the American Guild of Organists, and a Diplomate of both the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal College of Music.

He is the current Lord of the Manor of Ridley, Northumberland, England, a Title created by King Henry III in the year 1230. Lafford has held the Title since 1998, when it passed to him from the family of the late Queen Mother Elizabeth, of England.

Program Note

This work is, in a sense, autobiographical. I was born in Gloucester, England, and my ancestors came from that pre-Roman part of Gloucestershire and Wiltshire that embraces Stonehenge and even earlier Avebury. In the first two movements, I’ve tried to reflect this ancient heritage.

Ralph Vaughan Williams was born in the village of Down Ampney in that same area, and direct forbears of mine came from a hamlet scarcely more than a mile distant. I’ve paid homage to this in the third movement by quoting Vaughan Williams’s hymn tune “Down Ampney,” tied in with a Welsh folk tune to acknowledge the part of my ancestry emanating from Wales.

Sir Edward Elgar was born in Worcester, a scant twenty-eight miles from Gloucester, and lived for a time in Hereford where my mentor for thirteen years at the Cathedral, Sir Percy Hull, was a longtime friend of the composer. I experienced the honor of performing music of both Elgar and Vaughan Williams under their own direction, and, in fact, conducted the American première of the latter’s last choral composition. In the fourth movement of my sonata, I’ve hinted at the Elgarian influence that was inescapable in my youthful days.
