This comprehensive collection presents 47 distinctive organ works by Richard Lloyd (1933-2021), one of Britain's most accomplished cathedral organists and prolific composers. Drawing from his extensive catalogue of accessible yet sophisticated compositions, this anthology showcases the breadth and quality that made Lloyd's music an essential part of church repertoire worldwide.
Lloyd's distinguished cathedral career encompassed prestigious appointments at Salisbury (1957-1966), Hereford (1966-1974), and Durham (1974-1985) Cathedrals. His compositional voice, influenced by early twentieth-century English masters like Howells and Vaughan Williams, produced beautifully crafted works serving both parish and cathedral choirs with equal distinction.
