Samuel Sebastian Wesley (1810-1876) was born in London England,
started (1819) music as a choir boy in the Chapel Royal, by age 16
was organist and began writing sacred music; his contributions
include hymn tunes (e.g. Hymnal 362) and anthems. Characterized by
some as the first great composer of sacred music in the Victorian era,
his career took him through Hereford (1832-), Exeter (1835-),
Leeds (1842-), Winchester (1849-), Gloucester (1865-).
His anthem "Lead me Lord" with its text from the Psalms (5:8 and 4:9)
is part of a large-scale almost cantata-like work entitled
"Praise the Lord, O my soul".


Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) wrote the "Prelude and Fugue in
C Major (BWV 553)" between 1704 and 1717 as an instructive piece;
it exhibits imperfections along side masterly writing.
