Christopher North’s final bow may have been taken in private, but the applause of the world follows him into the great unknown. He leaves behind a legacy of innovation, a discography of gold, and a reputation as a man who gave everything he had to the magic of the music. Though the stage lights have dimmed on his physical performance, the “wizardry” he conjured during his seventy-five years will continue to sparkle for as long as people seek out the profound beauty of a perfectly placed chord. He was a defining voice of an era, a master of his domain, and a beloved friend who will be missed by all who had the privilege of hearing him play. The king has left the stage, but his kingdom of sound remains forever intact.
