 In Northern European cities, especially in Germany, the title of Cantor or Kantor survived the Reformation, and referred to a musician who supervised the music in several principal churches, taught in the boys' secondary school, and provided music for civic functions.Johann Sebastian Bach ( in Leipzig) and Georg Philipp Telemann (Hamburg) were among the famous musicians employed under this system.In cathedral churches in the Anglican Communion, the precentor or head cantor is a member of the governing chapter, second in rank to the dean.
