About this title

About the Author:

Dr Francis Jackson CBE is a British organist and composer. He was born in Malton, Yorkshire and received his early education as a Chorister at York Minster under his precursor, the legendary Sir Edward Bairstow. Jackson succeeded Bairstow as Organist of York Minster in 1946, a post he held until his official retirement in 1982. His extensive output of sacred and secular music includes canticles, anthems, hymn tunes, organ pieces, two acclaimed monodramas, an overture, a concerto, a symphony, and solo songs. Jackson's creative output has continued since his retirement.

Review:

Of the ninety and nine tunes so far appointed for 'Love Divine' in the various hymnals, this would certainly be the finest and fittest. It could hardly be by anyone else than Howells, but therein lies the snag: it is probably just too musical to catch on big. How saddening a thought! Still, you never can tell . . . * Michael Bell, Organists' Review May 2002 *
