About Richard C. Spotts
Author: Charles Tournemire’s L’Orgue Mystique: La Haute Mission
Professional Organist
Richard trained as a classical organist and holds degrees in music and religious studies from Westminster Choir College. His deep curiosity about the intersection of mysticism, music, and liturgy led him to Charles Tournemire’s L’Orgue Mystique — a work he has performed, researched, and lectured on for over a decade.
His recently published book, “Charles Tournemire’s L’Orgue Mystique: La Haute Mission”, is the first English-language exploration of the entire cycle. The book has been praised for its scholarly rigour and spiritual sensitivity, earning acclaim from musicians, theologians, and educators alike.
This magnificent book is not to be absorbed in a single sitting. It is a book to be read and re-read… gradually integrated into one’s understanding of the historical, political, aesthetic, and intellectual currents of the period.”
— William Renwick, McMaster University
