Gatty Sellars (1875-1947) was described during his career as “the world’s greatest descriptive organist.” He played on radio and in films, “the only organist-composer to be filmed playing his own compositions,” as written in 1942. Watch him playing “At the Temple Gates” from 1931. “Angelus” is the Latin word for angel and is a daily devotion that commemorates the Incarnation of Jesus; it originated during the 14th century in the Roman Catholic Church in Italy. The name comes from the beginning text, “Angelus Domini nuntiavit Mariæ” (The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary). He does not call for chimes in the printed music here, but he used them when playing this piece in concert. Moderate.
