Geoffrey O’Connor-Morris (1886-1964)
was born in Thun, Switzerland, of Irish lineage. After his education in Dublin and at the Royal College of Music, he was chosen out of
80 candidates to become assistant organist of Carlisle Cathedral in 1903 at age 17. Subsequent organist positions included St
Cuthbert’s Church, Carlisle, St John’s Church, Wilton Square, London, and St Paul’s, Onslow Square from 1910 until
1918. He was conductor of the Carl Rosa Opera Company (1918–19). Several of his compositions, including the Violin Concerto, Op 25, were
performed for the Prominade Concerts (1913, 1921). During 1926, he was an organist in Belfast and Birmingham for the BBC. He was
awarded in 1928 the Honorary Associate of the Royal College of Music (HonARCM). His last organist position was at the Seventh Church
of Christ Scientist, Kensington, London (1930-1960). O’Connor-Morris was a professor of conducting and orchestration at the
Guildhall School of Music (1943–45) and an examiner for Trinity College of Music. His compositions include music for orchestra,
choir, voice, violin, piano, and organ. The piece is dedicated to W H Vipond Barry, organist-choirmaster of St Bartholomew’s
Church, Dublin, Ireland, and a participant in the County Kildare Archeological Society. The composer may have received the
unattributed tune from Barry. Easy.
