Richard Marlow

Richard Marlow (1939-2013) was a celebrated British organist, conductor, and music scholar best known for his transformative work as Director of Music at Trinity College, Cambridge, from 1968 to 2006. His leadership turned the Trinity College Choir into one of the world’s most respected collegiate choirs, celebrated for its crisp, luminous sound and recordings of sacred choral works spanning Renaissance polyphony to 20th-century compositions. A specialist in early music, Marlow championed composers like Bach, Victoria, and Philips (as heard in his recordings of *JS Bach: The Six Motets* and *Philips: Cantiones Sacrae*), while also nurturing contemporary choral music. His Cambridge legacy lives on through his hymn arrangements, carol recordings, and generations of students he mentored. Casual listeners might recognize his choir’s holiday albums like *Carols* or *Anthems from Cambridge* – perfect for evoking chapel acoustics or adding scholarly flair to a cozy evening!
