Stanford’s William Mahrt, a leading scholar in early music, on January 1 at 85. He conducted Gregorian chant for more than 60 years and inspired and guided generations of scholars. H
I can only say how sorry we are for never having met him. On the other hand, his legacy is alive and thriving, for Gregorian chant and sacred music is alone helping grow the Church and Latin Mass, despite much neglect from official church sources. I will pray for him at our next Latin Mass.
Lovely to see this, Cynthia. And it was lovely that we were able to stand in vigil with other friends and choir members during Prof. Mahrt's last hours.

Thanks, Roseanne. It was. No one like him. He was indefatigable. He will be much missed.
