Herbert Whitton Sumsion CBE (14 January 1899 – 11 August 1995) was an English musician who was organist of Gloucester Cathedral from 1928 to 1967. Through his leadership role with the Three Choirs Festival, Sumsion maintained close associations with major figures in England's 20th-century musical renaissance, including Edward Elgar, Herbert Howells, Gerald Finzi, and Ralph Vaughan Williams. Although Sumsion is known primarily as a cathedral musician, his professional career spanned more than 60 years and encompassed composing, conducting, performing, accompanying, and teaching. His compositions include works for choir and organ, as well as lesser-known chamber and orchestral works.

  • Herbert Whitton Sumsion CBE (* 14. Januar 1899 in Gloucester; † 11. August 1995 in Frampton-on-Severn, Gloucestershire) war ein englischer Musiker, der von 1928 bis 1967 als Organist an der Kathedrale von Gloucester wirkte.

Jahrhundert eine Renaissance des englischen Musiklebens anstrebten, wie beispielsweise Edward Elgar, Herbert Howells, Gerald Finzi und Ralph Vaughan Williams. Obwohl Sumsion vor allem als Musiker der Kathedrale bekannt ist, wirkte er in einer Laufbahn von mehr als 60 Jahren auch als Komponist, Dirigent, Begleiter und Lehrer. Er schuf Werke für Chor und Orgel, aber auch weniger bekannte Kammermusik und Orchesterwerke. (de)
