David Roger Higgins (September 11, 1938 – August 13, 2006) was a

musical director of Opera 14. In 1974, he was appointed organist and choirmaster of St Oswald's Church, Durham, a position he held until his death in 2006. In 1983 a fire was started in the Organ Loft at the church resulting in the total destruction of the Harrison & Harrison Organ then in the building. This resulted in the design and installation of a new 3 manual Peter Collins
organ at the rear of the church (speaking directly down the nave), built to Higgins' specification.

Higgins' numerous compositions mainly concentrate on

RSCM
as the title piece to a small anthology.
