Albert W Ketèlbey (1875-1959) was an English composer whose
early music won the praise of Elgar and gained first place over Holst. From
ages 16 to 20, he was a church organist as well as a piano soloist. After
1912, Ketèlbey became a music editor for Chappell and music director
of the Columbia Gramophone Co. He gave many of his works exotic titles
(
In
a Persian Market,
In
the Mystic Land of Egypt,
In a Chinese Temple Garden), and
Sanctuary of the
Heart is based on
an excerpt from his poem,
“In
A Monastery Garden,” from 1915. It
is printed on the first page of music. Also, many listeners will recognize
the prominent statement of the famous melody, “Kol Nidre.” Moderately
easy.
