Born into one of England's best-known families, Samuel Sebastian Wesley (1810-76) was not only the foremost organist and church musician of his generation, but a vigorous campaigner for higher standards in cathedral music.

The book is illustrated by a generous selection of musical examples and plates, and includes the most detailed list of works to appear in print.
