Arthur
Henry Mann (16 May 1850, Norwich – 19 November 1929, Cambridge) was an English organist
and composer of hymn tunes including "Angel's Story" which was
originally written for the hymn 'I love to hear the story', but is also sung to
the words 'O Jesus, I have promised.' He was most noted for his role as organist
and director of music at King's College Chapel,
Cambridge from 1876–1929, being the founder director of the world
famous tradition of the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols since its first
performance in 1918. In 1888, he published his own edition of Thomas Tallis's Spem in alium. His edition, though flawed, was the
very first publication ever made of Tallis's famous motet in forty parts.Contents
