Sir William Harris - Organist, Choir Trainer and Composer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780854022793)

Although the name of William Harris will be

familiar to many as a composer of church

music, less is known about his life prior

to his moving to Windsor in 1933 where,

for no less than 28 years, he presided over

the music in St George's Chapel. During

his time there he was intimately involved

in a considerable number of high-profile

occasions, especially Order of the Garter

ceremonies and two Coronation services -

that of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth

II- and a number of State funerals. However,

apart from knowledge of his compositions

among church musicians, little is known of

the man.
