Succentor

The succentor ("under-singer"

responses. In English cathedrals today, the priest responsible for liturgy and music is usually the precentor, but some cathedrals, such as St Paul's, Southwark Cathedral,^[2] Durham, and Christ Church, Oxford,^[3] retain a succentor as well. Lichfield used the title subchanter.^[4] Westminster Abbey also retains the tradition; Brecon Cathedral previously had only a succentor, and no precentor, but this changed in 2022 with the appointment of The Rev'd Canon Steven Griffith to the post of precentor.^[5]^[6] The succentor is normally a minor canon.^[7]^[8]

Radley College appears to be unique in having a lay succentor, who is the college organist and assistant to the lay precentor, the director of music.^[9]
