Thomas Frederick Handel Candlyn (1892-1964) was born in Davenham, Cheshire, England, on December 17, 1892. He was the son of Thomas John Candlyn, a church musician, from whom he received basic music instruction. He obtained a BMus degree from the University of Durham in 1911. While he was assistant organist at Doncaster Parish Church, he studied under Wilfrid E Sanderson, their organist-choirmaster. Candlyn emigrated to the United States and lived in Albany, New York, in order to be organist-choirmaster of St Paul’s Episcopal Church (1915-1943). There, he taught at the New York State College for Teachers (1921-1943) where he was later head of the music department. In 1943, he succeeded T Tertius Noble as organist-choirmaster at St Thomas Episcopal Church in New York City. In 1954, Candlyn became organist-choirmaster at Trinity Church, Roslyn, Long Island, New York. He died at Point Lookout, New York, on December 16, 1964. This piece and his “Chanson des Alpes” were his first published organ works. “The March of Three Kings” is is a boisterous and harmonically interesting march. Moderate.
