responsible for planning and serving as the principal conductor for eleven festivals held at
Gloucester. Although Sumsion personally acknowledged the challenge that cathedral organists—who were primarily choral conductors—faced in conducting major orchestral works, his own conducting was greatly respected, and his interpretations of Elgar's works were viewed as being representative of the composer's own readings. At the first festival following Elgar's death (1934), Sumsion proposed that the three cathedral organists each conduct one of the Elgar works on the program, a welcome division of labour for the host conductor that would later become standard practice. After the retirement in 1949 of Percy Hull of Hereford and

Sumsion would later write of his musically formative experiences at the cathedral: 'Quite soon after my entry into the choir I was singing with the Festival Chorus and gradually absorbing the choral music of the great classical composers and the contemporary writers, of whom the giant was certainly Elgar.' When Sumsion's treble voice broke at age 15, he became an 'articled pupil' to Brewer, a designation connoting a three-year apprenticeship in organ, choral direction, and music theory. As one of Brewer's articled pupils Sumsion was following in the footsteps of his slightly older contemporaries,

The Sumsion and Howells families were likewise close, evidenced by the fact that in 1935 the Sumsions hosted Howells and his wife for Christmas following the death of the Howells's son Michael; and according to one Howells biographer, it was Sumsion who first encouraged Howells to allow

From 1911 to 1915 he was organist at Ashleworth, a small village six miles from Gloucester, responsible for the church choir and the "organ blower" for a fee of £5 a quarter, quite a responsibility for a 12-year-old. Gloucester was (and is) one of the three host cities, along with

On 1 March 1928, Herbert Brewer died suddenly of a heart attack, leaving the post of organist at
Gloucester vacant only a few months before the cathedral was to host the Three Choirs Festival. Brewer had expressed a desire that Sumsion succeed him, so although Sumsion had just accepted the position

Despite his relatively late arrival on the scene, Sumsion's leadership of the 1928 Three Choirs
Festival at Gloucester impressed both music colleagues and the press. In those days the resident organist bore the burden of conducting, and though in 1928 several composers were on hand to conduct their

A former
Sumsion pupil writes that Sumsion's 'vision in matters of programme planning together with his skill of direction in a very wide spectrum of works made him one of the most successful conductors' in the Three Choirs Festival's history. From 1928 until his retirement in 1967, Sumsion was
