*🎼 About the composer*
Caleb Simper (1856–1942) was an English organist, composer, and editor who became widely known for his practical and approachable church music. Unlike many of his more virtuosic contemporaries, Simper focused on writing pieces that could be played by a broad range of organists.

His music was especially popular in parish churches across England, where his voluntaries, hymn arrangements, and instructional works helped shape everyday musical practice. Today, his works are often overlooked, yet they offer a unique glimpse into the living musical culture of Victorian and Edwardian church life.

Played with the Steinmeyer organ from Landau, Germany via Hauptwerk
