        William Lloyd Webber

        William Lloyd Webber (d. 1982), hailed as "one of the finest all-round musicians" of his century in Britain, led a distinguished academic career as Director of the London College of Music and Professor at the Royal College of Music. Also a renowned organist, he composed extensively in a highly romantic style, showing influences of Franck, Sibelius, and Rachmaninov. His works drew significant praise; his orchestral tone poem Aurora was called "skillfully and sumptuously scored" and "sensuous," while his Missa Sanctae Mariae Magdalenae was lauded for its "beautiful, deeply-felt writing" and "instinctive feeling for words and choral colouring."

        Description: Born A King

        We are delighted to celebrate the centenary of William Lloyd Webber with this eight-book collection.

        Showcasing him in the light of a composer who was true to himself and who fully embraced his signature style, this is music that is romantic, melodious and - above all - heartfelt.

        This is also music that goes beyond the accepted conventions of his day - music whose time has come!

        This tuneful, straightforward and thoroughly enjoyable cantata has parts for baritone solo, chorus and organ, with three well-known hymns for the congregation. The text is taken from Scripture and other sources including Wesley, Luther and Heber. Born a King will take 20-25 minutes to perform, making it suitable for use in a service or as part of a longer Christmas concert. It will cause no learning headaches for a parish choir and will give much pleasure.

        Contents

        PART I
        Blessed is he that cometh
        Come, thou long expected Jesus
        Hark the glad sound

        PART II
        Of the Father's love begotten
        My heart for very joy doth leap
        Once in royal Devid's city

        PART III
        O come, let us worship home
        Behold, there came wise men
        Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
        As with gladness men of old
