in McPherson, Kansas, and during his lifetime was recognized as one of

works having entered the standard repertory.
His Bachelor's degree in music was earned at Southwestern College, Winfield, Kansas. He later studied at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia and received his Doctor of Sacred Music from Southwestern in 1964. During the course of his career, he was a radio organist in Tulsa, a music critic and columnist for daily newspapers in Oklahoma and Pennsylvania, and choirmaster in churches in Philadelphia and Kansas City. Mr. Young taught organ in conjunction with Wayne State University and for 15 years was organist and choir director at the First Presbyterian Church in Detroit. |
