Sir Stephen Cleobury (31 Dec., 1948 - 22 Nov. 2019)

Salieri

King's Cambridge has announced this morning the sad news of the death of Sir Stephen Cleobury, who passed away last night (St. Cecilia's Day) in his hometown of York, after a long illness.

Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetual luceat ei. Requiescat in pace. Amen. Anima ejus et fidelium animae per misericordiam Dei requiescant in pace. Amen.

Very sad to hear this. It happens that yesterday I was watching this beautiful performance of the Messiah. May he rest in peace.

I remember his arrival in Cambridge because I was a student at the time at St. John's College School.

May he rest in peace.

I hope and pray that he will save his soul. After all, that's the whole reason why we're here.
