Thomas Frederick Handel Candlyn (1892-1964)
was born in Davenham, Cheshire, England, on December 17, 1892. He was the son of Thomas John Candlyn, a church musician, from whom he
received basic music instruction. He obtained a BMus degree from the University of Durham in 1911. While he was assistant organist at
Doncaster Parish Church, he studied under Wilfrid E Sanderson, their organist-choirmaster. Candlyn emigrated to the United States and
lived in Albany, New York, in order to be organist-choirmaster of St Paul’s Episcopal Church (1915-1943). There, he taught at
the New York State College for Teachers (1921-1943) where he was later head of the music department. In 1943, he succeeded T Tertius
Noble as organist-choirmaster at St Thomas Episcopal Church in New York City. In 1954, Candlyn became organist-choirmaster at Trinity
Church, Roslyn, Long Island, New York. He died at Point Lookout, New York, on December 16, 1964. This is probably his most often
played piece currently. Moderately easy.
