Edward Moroney, ODT, has been honoured by the Royal School of Church Music (RSCM) in the U.K. Mr. Moroney, an organist and composer in the Diocese of Toronto, has been made an Associate of the RSCM. He will be presented with the award on Oct. 4 at Christ Church, Oxford. The award recognizes “achievements in church music and liturgy of national significance, or for important musical and liturgical work within the RSCM which has had an impact regionally.”
“Edward Moroney has, for over fifty years, been most influential in church music as organist, composer, teacher and advisor in hymnology to many clerics,” says the citation for the award. “As well as being a much-respected accompanist in Canada, he has made a significant contribution in ecumenical circles. He has been recognized by both the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches for services to church music. He continues to support his colleagues both locally and abroad.”
