Trevor Walshaw, ARCO

9/10/2015

1 Comment

 
Trevor Walshaw ARCO, who has died aged 82, served the cause of music in Huddersfield for many years with quiet distinction.

His interest in music was kindled as a chorister at Huddersfield Parish Church under the organist and choirmaster A Hanley Lawrence, MusBac, FRCO, a noted recitalist from whom he was to receive organ lessons.

​His first post, taken in his early teens, was at Holy Trinity, South Crosland, where he was proud to preside over a fine Jardine instrument. From there he moved to St Thomas the Apostle, Longroyd Bridge, and greater responsibilities as organist and choirmaster.

A calm and gentle man who was by profession an accountant, he later served as organist and choirmaster at Holy Trinity, Huddersfield, and, latterly, at Huddersfield Parish Church.

Singing was a passion that Trevor shared with his wife Shirley, a fine contralto, and they gave loyal service for many years to the the Huddersfield Glee and Madrigal Society, of which Trevor was also organist, and the Huddersfield Choral Society.
​
The funeral takes place on Wednesday, October 14 at 11am at Huddersfield Parish Church followed by committal at Huddersfield Crematorium at 12.30.

Thank you to the Rev Simon Moor and all at Huddersfield Parish Church for today's requiem mass for Trevor. He would have been gratified by the large choir, the lovely music and thoughtful contributions from the speakers. Widor's Toccata played by Stephen Smith closed the service on an optimistic note.
