Joseph William George Hathaway (1870–1956) was a graduate of Oxford
University and an examiner for the Royal Schools of Music and author of
An
Analysis of Mendelssohn’s Sonatas (1898).
His piece was originally scored for strings, brass, organ, and drums.
Alfred Herbert Brewer was born in Gloucester, England, on
June 21, 1865. He was highly educated and well-trained in
music. He studied organ with such teachers as Charles Villiers Stanford, he
won scholarships, he earned multiple degrees, he was awarded Hon.R.A.M. and
F.R.C.O, and was knighted by the king. He was a well-rounded musician who
was able to bring orchestral favorites to the organ in transcriptions that
are approachable and always easier to play than those by other well-known
organists such as Edwin Lemare.
Moderate.
