Dennis William Townhill Шаблон:Post-nominals (29 May 1925 – 18 July 2008) was an English organist and composer.
Born in Lincoln, he was educated at Lincoln School and studied under Dr Gordon Archbold Slater at Lincoln Cathedral.
Townhill composed a set of responses for use at Anglican evensong.
In 1970, Townhill became the driving force of a plan not only to safeguard the future of the Choir School of St Mary’s Cathedral, Edinburgh but to transform it into a new and vibrant entity.[1] In 1972, the school was expanded into a specialist music school on the lines of the Yehudi Menuhin School, with Lord Menuhin becoming patron and referring to it as "my younger sister-school in Scotland".[2]
He was organist and choir master at:
- St Paul's Church, Burton on Trent. 1942–1943[3]
- St. Mary le Wigford’s Church, Lincoln 1943–1947[3]
- St. Mary Magdalene, Bailgate, Lincoln, Lincoln 1947–1949[3]
- St James Church, Louth 1949[3]–1956
- Grimsby Parish Church 1956–1961
- St Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh 1961–1991
Townhill retired in 1991,[1] and his autobiographical memoir The Imp and the Thistle: The Story of a Life of Music Making was self-published in 2000.[4]
