Nunc dimittis: Gerre Hancock, 1934-2012

I'll be brief:

Few serious church musicians have never heard of Gerre Hancock. I met him in passing only twice, yet I easily joined the ranks of those who admired him and cherished his wonderful work with the St. Thomas (NYC) choirs and later with organ and sacred music students at the University of Texas. May he rest in peace, and may Judith be strengthened, comforted, and buoyed during this difficult time.
