I have just seen this on another forum. What an immense loss this is to the world of organ and church music. My thoughts are with his family.

I had heard some of the Choral Scholars at St John's in Cambridge, where I studied, speak of John Scott in glowing terms - a few were choristers at St Paul's under his direction.  I heard him play at Hereford Cathedral just a couple of weeks ago, and his playing was, of course, stunning.  I was also impressed by his friendliness with all, including myself, who were lined up to meet him after his recital.

John was a consummate musician.  His psalm accompaniments were an inspiration, as was his vision and the scope of his skills. He was also a thoroughly nice person, who wore his talents lightly.  Our thoughts will be with his family.  May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
