Sir David Willcocks died last week at the age of 95. Willcocks was the most influential director of choral music in Great Britain, if not the world. The man knew his stuff, and loved what he did. Tellingly, he wasn't a musical snob, and brought his considerable talent to bear on an array of genres. Perhaps his most widely-recognized work wasn't even released under his own name, but it proved to be a massive hit for the Rolling Stones--"You Can't Always Get What You Want."
