Edward Lloyd (tenor)
Edward Lloyd (7 March 1845 – 31 March 1927) was a British tenor singer who excelled in concert and oratorio performance, and was recognised as a legitimate successor of John Sims Reeves〔Bispham 1920, p. 121. Herman Klein wrote: "The mantle of Braham and Sims Reeves, as worthily borne by Edward Lloyd..' (Klein, ''Thirty Years of Musical Life in London, 1870–1900'' (Century Co., New York 1903), pp. 467–68), but he admitted that Lloyd himself never claimed that distinction, see H. Klein, 'Sims Reeves: "Prince of English tenors",' in R. Wimbush (comp.), ''The Gramophone Jubilee Book 1923–1973'' (General Gramophone Publications Ltd, Harrow 1973), 109–112. It was in concert and oratorio but not in the operatic repertoire, that Lloyd emulated his great predecessor.〕 as the foremost tenor exponent of that genre during the last quarter of the nineteenth century.
== Early training in choral tradition ==
Edward Lloyd was born in London, into a musical family. His father had, by invitation, assisted as a counter-tenor on 'Show Sundays' at Worthing when choral concerts were directed by the fourteen-year-old Sims Reeves.〔C. Pearce, Sims reeves, Fifty Years of Music in England (Stanley Paul, London 1924), 23.〕 Young Lloyd began singing as a chorister at Westminster Abbey, and in 1866 became a member of both Trinity College and King's College chapels in the University of Cambridge. In 1869 he joined the choir of St Andrew's, Wells Street (under Barnby) and was engaged for the Chapel Royal in 1869–71. In 1871 he sang in the St Matthew Passion at the Gloucester Festival, and came prominently to public attention. He never sang in the theatre, possibly because he was short of stature (Charles Santley heard him described as 'a nice, plump little gentleman.'〔Santley 1909, p. 95.〕). In 1873 he made his first appearance at St James' Hall with the Royal Philharmonic Society. In the year of his retirement in 1900, he became the Gold Medallist of that Society.
