Philip Edmund Duffy KSG, GRSM, ARMCM, PGCE, Hon FGCM, FHEA, FRSCM (born 1943) was the Master of the Music at the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral from 1966 to 1996, and lectured at Liverpool Hope University from 2000 to 2013. ==Career== Philip Duffy graduated from the Royal Manchester College of Music before receiving his Postgraduate Certificate in Education from the University of London. In 1966, he was appointed as the Master of the Music at the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, succeeding Christopher Symons, who was the first musical director at the Cathedral. As it happens, Philip Duffy's elder brother, Terence, was appointed alongside him as the Cathedral Organist. Following this appointment he taught music at Runnymede, the preparatory school for St. Edward's College, Liverpool which was also the dedicated school for the Cathedral Choir. The newly built Cathedral was consecrated in 1967 (prior to this, the Crypt had been used for services), and Duffy was instrumental in the successful establishment of a musical tradition in the new building. Under his direction, the Cathedral Choir developed a strong reputation, making several recordings and tours, and broadcasting regularly on BBC Television and Radio. Of particular note was the celebration of Mass by Pope John Paul II in the Cathedral in 1982 which was broadcast to a worldwide audience. In 1996 he retired as Master of the Music, after 30 years of service. He began lecturing part time at Liverpool Hope University in 1999, and has been a full time lecturer there since 2000. Following 4 years as course leader for the BA Creative & Performing Arts, Music, Music Technology, Popular Music Studies, he was appointed to the role as Director of Performance for the university. Although he has retired from teaching at the university, Duffy still directs the chamber choir of that institution.〔(Staff profile from Liverpool Hope University )〕 Duffy was appointed Knight of the Order of St. Gregory the Great by Pope John Paul II for services to Church Music in 1981. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Philip Duffy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
