Phillip Sear plays a doleful but striking piece from 1911 by the British organist and composer Wilfrid Sanderson (1878-1935).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The British organist and composer Wilfrid Ernest Sanderson(1878-1935) is slightly remembered today for his sentimental and uplifting ballads such as 'Until' (1910) and 'God be with you Tonight' (1917) - which were popular on the 'home front' in WW1. In his heyday sales of sheet music of his songs exceeded half a million copies a year.  Although in his latter years he lived near Redhill in Surrey, England he was organist at a church in Doncaster for 19 years until 1923.  He seems to have prospered from his musical activities, as on his death he left an estate worth over £2.5 million in 2011 values.  This piece is a second sequel to Sanderson's first Chansonnette (from 1904) which can be heard on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1bMwCZyQ8U
