When asked for some autobiographical notes Samuel Sebastian Wesley had no hesitation in declaring that ‘My published 12 Anthems is my most important work’. Yet if that volume represents the summit of his achievement, it also stands as a memorial to a life whose early promise was only partially realized. Although at times his own worst enemy, many of the difficulties he encountered in a turbulent career as a cathedral organist reflected the circumstances under which church musicians were forced to work. ‘This state of things’ he once declared ‘is the natural result of such an anomaly as that of one professional calling being wholly supervised by another - viz, Musicians by Clergymen’. |
