How can I keep from singing? by John Scott
for SSA and piano An attractive setting of traditional words to a melody ascribed to the American hymnwriter Robert Lowry. Scott employs his considerable arranging skills to stylish effect by contrasting unison verse sections with mellifluous wordless choruses. All is underpinned by an idiomatic and supportive accompaniment for piano or organ. This piece is also available in an SATB version.
John Scott was born in 1956 in Wakefield, Yorkshire, where he was a Cathedral chorister. In 1974 he became Organ Scholar at St John's College, Cambridge. On leaving Cambridge, he was appointed Assistant Organist at London's two Anglican Cathedrals, St Paul's and Southwark, eventually becoming Organist and Director of Music at St Paul's in 1990. He is now Director of Music at St Thomas Church, Fifth Avenue, New York, and also enjoys an extensive career as an international concert organist. He was appointed a Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order (LVO) in the New Year Honours List 2004. John Scott died in August 2015.
