Charles Harford Lloyd
Charles Harford Lloyd (Thornbury, 16 October 1849 – Eton, 16 October 1919) was an English composer who became a well-known organist in his time.
His most successful field was organ and choral works, though he wrote three clarinet pieces for his friend Randle Fynes Holme (1864–1957), a talented amateur musician; a number of chamber works; a Festival Overture for orchestra; an organ concerto with orchestra; and a number of songs for voice and piano.
He served as organist and choirmaster at Gloucester Cathedral, Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford, Eton College Chapel and organist at the Chapel Royal. His most frequently performed works today are his settings of the Anglican Church liturgy.
He had a lifelong friendship with Hubert Parry.
