Louis J. Lantz

Renaissance Chorus Association, Inc
It is with deep distress that we share the passing of a treasured former colleague in the Department of Social Services but more to our common musical lives, fellow singer and active professional musician in all genres.
Lou was, as were many of us, [an orchestration+] student at Mansfield of our founder Harold Brown, and rejoined him, assisting him in the editing and orthography of Renaissance Chorus of New York 1970 edition of Johannes Ockeghem's Missa Cuisvis Toni.
After HB passed, Lou created midis for us of the previously unheard andante sostenuto of the 1950 Four Symphonic Movements , which can also be heard on our music page.
He also created one of HBs delightful 1945 Divertimento for small orchestra, which we will also, in tribute, add to the site.
Most important, Lou was a wonderful family and community man, friend to all that is right.
He was also an apt and witty writer: read his Chorus People memoir on our site "Harold in Hinterland", which, as was he-"priceless".
Our deep respect and sympathy to Judy and all his family.
