Edwin Stephenson (1871–1922) was an English cathedral organist, who served in St. Philip's Cathedral, Birmingham.〔The Succession of Organists. Watkins Shaw.〕 ==Background== He was born in Windermere, Cumbria in 1871. He was a pupil at the Royal College of Music. His career started early when at the age of 14 he was appointed to Cartmel Priory as organist.〔Musical Times. Vol 63. 1 Nov 1922〕 He was a proponent of Tudor Church Music and he published the Lamentations of Robert Whyte (a former organist at St. Margaret's Church, Westminster). At a time when many organ recitals favoured transcriptions of orchestral works, Stephenson eschewed them in favour of organ compositions. His recital programmes included the Sonatas and larger Chorale Fantasias of Max Reger and the later Symphonies of Charles Widor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edwin Stephenson (organist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
