When a living legend retires, it is hoped that he will write a book. Now he has.

Dr. Guest’s autobiography traces his career from its beginnings in Bangor, Wales, through nearly half a century as College Organist and Choirmaster at St. John’s College, Cambridge, England. Writing with candour and charm, Dr. Guest not only provides priceless advice for would-be-choir directors and an in-depth look at the history of music at St. John’s, but also presents the reader with a delightful mix of the stories and memories of a truly outstanding musician.

“Dr. Guest writes with warmth and suavity…he is as gifted a raconteur as a choir trainer, sketching delightful portraits of various musical greats, both past and present.”

“This is the story of a remarkable lifetime’s achievement, one that has made musical and ecclesiastical history in the second half of this century. This is a book that just had to be written.”
Church Music Quarterly
