Richard Hall (organist)

Richard Hall (died 1773)[1] was an English organist.

Career

Hall had been a Lay Vicar at Chichester Cathedral since 1746. He was appointed as Thomas Capell's first Deputy Organist of the cathedral in 1765 - however he was dismissed in 1771 due to his 'vicious life and neglect of duty'. Records show that he remained in the choir and is described as 'singing-man' at his burial.[2]
