Hurford was organist and choirmaster at St Albans Abbey when he conceived the idea of an organ competition in 1963, partly to celebrate the new Harrison & Harrison organ. This grew into the St Albans International Organ Festival , a world-renowned festival of organ music with competitions whose past winners include many of the great names in modern organ music including Dame Gillian Weir , David Sanger , Thomas Trotter and Kevin Bowyer . Hurford has also written a book: Making Music on the Organ (1998, OUP, ISBN 0-19-816207-3) |
