@Pontificalibus: No, "organist", "master", "professor", "chorister", etc. are common nouns, not capitalized in any dictionaries. Wikipedia does not capitalize job tiles, not even "king" and "pope", per MOS:JOBTITLES, unless used as part of a person's name (King John, Pope Francis). You may be used to seeing these terms capitalized in church bulletins, but this is an encyclopedia. Christhe spelleryack 14:16, 6 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Chris the speller: Whilst I appreciate style considerations, accuracy is more important. Flood was appointed to the position of Organist & Master of the Cathedral Choristers. There are however multiple people who could be stated as being organist and master of the cathedral choristers (e.g. an assistant organist might have been a master of the girl choristers). If we want to state that he was appointed to that titled role unambiguously, the correct way to do so is to capitalise it.
