Born in Lydney, Gloucestershire in 1892, Herbert Howells’ contribution to the twentieth century organ repertoire
is one of the most significant of any British composer.



He was Herbert Brewer’s articled pupil at Gloucester Cathedral for two years before taking up a scholarship to the
Royal College of Music in 1912. There he studied with, among others, Stanford, who described the young Howells as his
“son in music”. It is interesting that the man, who in many ways, set the tone for Cathedral music in the
nineteenth century should be so closely linked with the man who set the tone for the twentieth. In fact, Howells’
contribution to the Cathedral repertoire dates largely from the 1940s onwards, his considerable early successes being
chiefly as a secular composer. Stanford conducted the premiere of his First Piano Concerto (1913), and his 1916 Piano
Quartet and 1919 Rhapsodic Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, which both won awards from the Carnegie Trust.



Howells’ career as an organist was brief: he was forced by ill health to quit the post of sub-organist at
Salisbury Cathedral in 1917. He later deputised for a conscripted Robin Orr at St. John’s College, Cambridge
between 1941 and 1945. He taught at the RCM for many years, was director of music at St.Paul’s Girls School,
Hammersmith, between 1936 and 1962, and was King Edward VII Professor of Music at London University from 1950. He was
awarded a CBE in 1953.



The death of Howells’ nine year old son, Michael, in 1935 exerted the most profound influence on his music. In
fact, he had composed relatively little during the years following Michael’s birth, but the child’s tragic
death resulted in the creation of some of Howells’ most beautiful and heartfelt music. A deeply felt cello
concerto dating from this time was never completed, but in the late thirties appeared Hymnus Paradisi – perhaps
his greatest work. The second set of Psalm Preludes date from the same period.



Much of Howells’ organ music enjoys popularity – the first set of Psalm Preludes and certain of the Six
Pieces in particular are regularly heard. The more challenging second set of Psalm Preludes and the three Rhapsodies
(op.17) are also familiar. It is a shame that his larger-scale works are unjustly neglected. Of his two Sonatas, the
second from 1932 contains some of the most impassioned organ writing from an Englishman. The remarkable, and much later,
Partita fortunately is given an airing here. Of her father’s final decline, Howells’ daughter Ursula wrote
the following, which is quoted in Paul Spicer’s book, Herbert Howells: ‘In the last months I saw that
‘Hymnus’ was on the radio and I told him it was on. He asked what it was. I told him that he had written it
for Michael. He said “I don’t want to hear it”, but I just left it on. And I went through at the end
of it, and there he was just lying there with tears streaming down his face saying “did I write
that?”’
