Cuthbert Harris was born in Holloway, London, England, on June 7, 1870. After studying music privately, he attended the London Organ School and the London Academy of Music; he graduated from the University of Durham with a Mus.B in 1894 and a Mus.D. in 1899. He became an Associate in January 1889 and a Fellow of the Royal College of Organists in July 1889. He held organist positions at the Presbyterian Church, Haverstock Hill, London (1889–1891), Welwyn Parish Church, Hertfordshire (1891–1893), St. Andrew's, Streatham, London (from 1893) and St. Leonard's Parish Church, Streatham, London (from 1903) where he played a III/31 stop Walker organ (1905). Harris was music master at the London College for Ladies and was professor of organ and composition at the London Organ School from about 1896 until at least 1901. In 1904, he was appointed conductor of the Streatham Choral Society. He taught harmony and voice at the London Academy of Music, taught music by correspondence, prepared students for music examinations, and wrote articles for music periodicals. He died at Gorleston-at-Sea on June 17, 1932. I hope you buy and learn this clever and capricious piece and judge for yourself what a reviewer in 1994 in Clavier wrote of the inclusion of Harris’s “Caprice” thought about it: “the only awful piece in the book [Victorian Organ Album, edited by Malcolm Archer] is Cuthbert Harris’s silly Caprice.” How times do change! Moderate.
