It is with great sadness that we announce the death of one our founders, Peter R. Hallock, born November 19, 1924, died April 27, 2014 in his Fall City home. A world-renowned church musician, he spent 40 years at St. Mark's Cathedral, Seattle, and will be remembered as the musician who revived the ancient monastic rite of Compline. He was also responsible for the installation of the Flentrop Organ in 1965, and wrote a three-year cycle of psalms (The Ionian Psalter), the most widely used choral psalter in the Episcopal and Lutheran churches today. A burial service and a tribute concert are being planned to honor this giant in the world of church music.

Thanks to all for your patience yesterday when the Ionian Arts website was down. We're back in business!

Just four months after the death of co-founder Peter Hallock, Ionian Arts' Editor and co-founder, Carl Crosier, died on August 28, 2014 of pancreatic cancer. Katherine Crosier, Ionian Arts' president, is carrying on the business of promoting Peter Hallock's music and other Ionian Arts' publications. The attached ad will be printed in the Association of Anglican Musicians convention booklet.
