		John Stainer was born to relatively humble circumstances on 6 June 1840.
		Towards the end of his life, John drew a pencil sketch of himself in his early years first attempting to play the family organ – he was so young that he had to stand to reach the keys and yet, by the age of seven, he had mastered Bach’s Fugue in E major.
		Stainer’s coffin was laid to rest in Holywell cemetery, adjacent to the church.

	John Stainer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Stainer (6 June 1840 – 31 March 1901) was an English composer and organist.
		Born in Southwark, he sang as a boy in the choir of St Paul's Cathedral and at the age of 16 was appointed by Sir Frederick Ouseley to the post of organist at the newly-founded St.
		In that influential book's total of forty-two carols are Stainer's arrangements of what were to become the standard versions of "What Child is This" "God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen" "Good King Wenceslas" "The Coventry Carol" and "I Saw Three Ships," among others.

	Sir John Stainer - The Crucifixion [JQ]: Classical CD Reviews- April 2003 MusicWeb(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Stainer’s Crucifixion is a work at which it is easy to turn up one’s nose from what we like to think is the sophisticated standpoint of the twenty-first century.
		Stainer, who was then in charge of the music at St Paul’s Cathedral, wrote it for the choir of another London church, Marylebone Parish Church.
		However, Stainer’s not inconsiderable achievement was to compose a cantata which would be within the compass of most decent parish church choirs of the day, even if they had to import soloists.

		Blinded in one eye in a childhood accident, Stainer served as chorister at St. Paul’s Cathedral (from the age of 7).
		Stainer and Bramley met at Magdalen College in 1860 when Stainer was appointed organist at the college.

		John Stainer was a chorister at St. Paul's from 1847 to 1855 and he returned to the Cathedral, as organist, in 1872.
		Several contemporary writings acknowledge the enormous debt that the Cathedral owed to Stainer's knowledge, vitality, tact and skill and it was under his guidance that the standard of music in the services was raised to a new level of excellence.
		It seems apt that he should be represented by Guild Music by his hymn-tune bearing the title of the church he loved and served so well.

	John Stainer - The Crucifixion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Stainer himself, late in life, condemned his composition as ‘rubbish’.
		But the recent revival of Parry’s forgotten symphonies, and Stanford’s rhapsodies has shown us the risks of this sort of categorisation; and any survey of English choral singing in the past century shows us that ‘The Crucifixion’ has in any case always defied it.
		114 years on, ‘The Crucifixion’ is a fixture of the English choral scene; Walker’s judgement was as premature as Stainer’s was harsh.

	Good King Wenceslas
		In the nineteenth century, Englishman John Mason Neale (1818-1866) discovered the tune and in 1853 affixed to it some lyrics based on the story of Wenceslas.
		In 1853, John Mason Neale, an English divine, selected the martyr Wenceslas as the subject for a children’s song to exemplify generosity.
		For a tune, Neale picked a spring carol, originally sung with the Latin text "Tempus adest floridum "or "Spring has unwrapped her flowers," which was first published in 1582 in a collection of Swedish church and school songs.

		But there also are less-famous names such as Stanley Vann, Percy Whitlock, and Hubert Middleton, all of whom served at various British cathedrals during the 20th century and who contribute suitably grand, tuneful, and solidly traditional works.
		On the other hand, a certain "modern" sensibility infuses Christopher Dearnley's Jubilate Deo, St. Paul's director of music John Scott's Behold, O god our defender, and 25-year-old Dobrinka Tabarova's exquisitely atmospheric Praise, which perfectly exploits the big, resonant cathedral space.

		Throughout the project, the ‘bread-and-butter’ Victoriana of the rich Anglican repertory has been complemented by inspirational discoveries and commissions.
