Wilfred Sanderson

Wilfred Sanderson (1878–1935) was an English composer. He was organist and choirmaster of the Church of St. Stephen, Walthamstow, Essex from 1896, then the London Churches of All Hallows, Southwark from 1898. A well known work, The Glory of the Sea, recorded by bass-baritone Peter Dawson in 1933, is a father's tribute to his son lost at sea.^[1]
