Choral and Organ Music
Gowers is also noted for his choral music, including a setting of the text Veni Creator Spiritus and the much-performed Viri Galilaei. He has also written a Cantata and several other anthems. He is also famous for his much loved "Toccata" for organ, commissioned by Simon Preston and joined over a decade later by a fugue, as well as his "Occasional Trumpet Voluntary".
