About
On retirement from a teaching career spent successively at St Paul's Boys' School Barnes Radley College Oxfordshire and Glenalmond College Perthshire (where he was also a Housemaster and Senior Tutor) Robert Gower worked as Organist at St Barnabas Catholic Cathedral Nottingham before moving briefly to the most northerly parish in the Church of England at Berwick-upon-Tweed. Returning to Scotland so as to be nearer to family he is now Director of Music at Dundee Parish Church. Robert's commitment to English 20th-century repertoire is reflected through his founding and leadership of the Percy Whitlock Trust between 1981 and 2016 and in his longstanding Chairmanship of the Gerald Finzi Charitable Trust from which he retired in 2022. He enjoys transcribing music for organ (with a wide range recently embracing both Leroy Anderson and Maxwell Davies) and in liturgical composition completing a three-year cycle of responsorial psalms for the Church Music Society.
