Multitudo languentium, et qui vexabantur a spiritibus immundis,
veniebant ad eum; quia virtus de illo exibat, et sanabat omnes
(A multitude with diseases, and those who were troubled by
unclean spirits, came unto him, because a power emanated from him
which healed them all).

Rossini, Berlioz, Liszt. Organist (1857-75) at the Madeleine; teacher
(1861-5) at the Ecole Niedermeyer. Organized concerts, revived interest
in older music (Bach, Handel, Rameau), wrote on topics (musical,
scientific, historical), traveled often and widely (Europe, North
Africa, South America), co-founded (1871) Societe Nationale de Musique.

Richard H Lloyd (1933-), born near Manchester England,
attended: Lichfield Cathedral (1942-47 chorister), Rugby School
(music scholar), Jesus College Cambridge (organ scholar).

Hereford Cathedral (organist and master of choristers),

The prelude and postlude bear French titles: Avant-propos
("preface") is a gentle introspective piece; Sortie ("exit,
departure") is confident and march-like with opportunities for
melodic fragments to be played on the gallery Fanfare Trumpet.
