Richard Runciman Terry (1865–1938) was an influential British choral conductor, organist, and musicologist, primarily associated with the early 20th-century English choral tradition. He is best known for his work in the revival of English choral music, particularly the compositions of earlier English composers such as Thomas Tallis and William Byrd. Terry served as the organist at St. John's College, Cambridge, and later at Westminster Cathedral, where he played a pivotal role in promoting the use of plainsong and fostering the development of the English liturgical music style. His notable works include the compilation of "The English Hymnal" (1906), which helped shape Anglican worship music, and his editions of choral works, which contributed to the preservation and performance of early music. Terry's impact on music lies in his efforts to revive and perform historical choral repertoire, influencing both the performance practices of his time and future generations of musicians. His advocacy for traditional English music, combined with his scholarly work, helped lay the groundwork for the English choral tradition that flourished throughout the 20th century.
