Synopsis

This book tells the life-story of R.J.S.Stevens. Born in 1756, Stevens' career spanned the period of late Baroque and early Romanticism. Trained as a choirboy, he was apprenticed at the age of 11 to William Savage who undertook to train him in the "science of musick". After leaving Savage he pursued a career as an organist and in 1871 was elected as an organist to St Michael's Cornhill. He spent the rest of his life earning his living as a music teacher, composer and organist. His pupils included the illegitimate daughters of Lord Thurlow, the Lord Chancellor, and his work the Anacreontic song became the Star Spangled Banner. This book is aimed at libraries, music departments of universities and polytechnics and to music enthusiasts.
