Watson studied at Keble College, Oxford, and at the Royal College of Music. He was organist at New College, Oxford, from 1933 and left in 1938 to become musical director at Winchester College, where he stayed until 1946. He moved to become precentor at Eton College, leaving in 1955 to take up a post as music lecturer at Christ Church, Oxford, and organist of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford—posts he held until 1970. He was professor of organ at the RCM from 1946 to 1971, and conducted the Oxford Bach Choir between 1955 and 1970. In 1965 he conducted the first performance of Walton's The Twelve, and in 1967 directed what was probably the first liturgical performance of Taverner's Missa Corona Spinea for 400 years. He composed an evening service, Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in E, which is regularly sung in the evening liturgy of the Anglican Church, and while at Winchester composed the hymn tune "Morestead". He was appointed an OBE in 1970 for his services to music. A private and undated recording exists of Sydney Watson conducting Sir Arnold Bax' Concertante for piano left hand and orchestra with Douglas Fox as soloist and an orchestra called the Oxford Orchestral Society.{{citation needed|date=October 2017}} {{s-start}}{{s-culture}}{{s-bef|before=John Dykes Bower}}{{s-ttl|title=Organist and Master of the Choristers of New College, Oxford|years=1933–1938}}{{s-aft|after=HK Andrews}}{{s-bef|before=Thomas Armstrong}}{{s-ttl|title=Organist of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford |years=1955–1970}}{{s-aft|after=Simon Preston}}{{end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Watson, Sydney}}{{UK-classical-musician-stub}}{{UK-keyboardist-stub}}{{organist-stub}} 15 : Academics of the Royal College of Music|Alumni of Keble College, Oxford|Alumni of the Royal College of Music|English classical organists|Male organists|Fellows of Christ Church, Oxford|Officers of the Order of the British Empire|Organists of New College, Oxford|Organists of Christ Church, Oxford|1903 births|1991 deaths|20th-century classical musicians|20th-century English musicians|20th-century organists|20th-century male musicians |
