Diademata – George J. Elvey – W. Bell Reed Organ

George Job Elvey, born in Canterbury, England, 1816; and died in Windlesham, Surrey, England, 1893). As a young boy, Elvey was a chorister in Canterbury Cathedral. Living and studying with his brother Stephen, he was educated at Oxford and at the Royal Academy of Music. At age nineteen Elvey became organist and master of the boys' choir at St. George Chapel, Windsor, where he remained until his retirement in 1882. He was frequently called upon to provide music for royal ceremonies such as Princess Louise's wedding in 1871 (after which he was knighted). The hymn tune DIADEMATA is often set to the text “Crown Him with Many Crowns”, and was composed by Elvey in 1868. Played on a W. Bell reed organ, which was made in Guelph, Ontario Canada in 1892.
