Dora Poteet Barclay, Organist and Choir Director at St.Andrew's Episcopal Church, Fort Worth, Texas, and Chairman of the Organ Department at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, has received rare distinction as a recitalist, teacher, and in the province of religious music. Having received early training in her home state of Texas, she later studied with Marcel Dupre in Fontainebleau, near Paris. Thorough schooling in her particular fields of interest included Episcopal service music under David McK. Williams.

Prior to her Fort Worth assignment, Mrs. Barclay was organist at several Dallas churches -- her last position there being organist and choir director at the Church of the Incarnation (Episcopal). Known professionally as Dora Poteet before her marriage to William Barclay, she won national recognition when she played a recital for the national convention of the American Guild of Organists at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. This brilliant performance has led to numerous concerts throughout the East and Mid West where she is always widely acclaimed.

Mrs. Barclay's knowledge and application of the French method of organ playing have placed her in the vanguard as a teacher. As chairman of the organ department at Southern Methodist University, she has produced many fine organists which include some of the outstanding artists in the concert field today. Notable among these are William Teague and Donald MacDonald, both of whom received theirfoundation work from Mrs. Barclay and later received scholarships from the Curtis Institute of Music, Philadelphia.

Mrs. Barclay has the distinction of having played to the largest audience ever to attend an organ recital in Fort Worth. Later at St. Andrew's a new Moeller organ was installed and her first recital was played on this instrument to a congregation that filled the church. Approval of her artistry was immediate. Moeller points with pride to Dora Poteet Barclay--an outstanding Artist of the Organ.
