John Craig

1512 - 1600 Meter: 6.6.6.6 Author of "O Hear My Prayer, Lord" Craig, John, was born in 1512, educated at the University of St. Andrews, and became a Dominican monk. Being suspected of heresy, he went, in 1537, to England, then to France, and finally settled among the Dominicans in Bologna. There, on reading Calvin's Institutes, he embraced and taught his views. Being accused of heresy, he was sent to Rome and imprisoned. He was sentenced to be burnt, August 19, 1559, but escaped at the death of Paul IV., on Aug. 18. From Rome he went by Bologna and Milan to Vienna, where he preached before the Emperor Maximilian II., who gave him letters of safe conduct to England. Having returned to Scotland, he became minister of the Canongate (then Holy rood House), Edinburgh, in 1561, and in 1563 joint minister with John Knox of St. Giles's. In 1571 he became minister of Montrose, in 1573 Superintendent of Mar and Buchan, and in 1579 minister of Holyrood and domestic chaplain to James VI. He died 12th December, 1600. In the Scottish Psalter of 1564-65, there are 15 Psalm versions by him, viz.: Ps. 24, 56, 75, 102, 105, 108, 110, 117, 118, 132, 136, 140, 141, 143, 145. They are mostly in P.M. and thus only three were repeated in the Scottish Psalter, of 1650, considerably altered, as the second versions of Ps. 136,143, and 145. Craig's best known work is A shorte summe of the whole Catechisme, Edinburgh, 1581, reprinted at Edinburgh in 1883, with a careful biographical introduction by T. G. Law. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

Walter G. Alcock

1861 - 1947 Meter: 6.6.6.6 Composer of "THE STARS AT LAST ARE SEEN" Walter Galpin Alcock United Kingdom 1861-1947. Born at Edenbridge, Kent, England, the son of the superintendent of the Metropolitan Police Orphanage at Fortescue, Twickenham. He was musically inclined. He won a scholarship to the National Training School for Music at age 15. There, he studied composition with Arthur Sullivan and organ with Sir John Stainer. After several brief posts at Holy Trinity Sloan Street and St Margaret’s Westminster, he was appointed Organ Professor at the Royal College of Music, London, in 1893. That year he married Naomi Blanche Lucas, and they had six daughters and a son: Naomi Judith, Dorothy Grace, Constance Marjorie, Ruth Blanche, Lucy Rachel, Kathleen Stainer, and Richard. In 1896 he was assistant organist of Westminster Abbey and concurrently organist and master of the children of the Chapel Royal (1902-1916). He became organist and Master of the Choristers of Salisbury Cathedral (1916-1947). He also oversaw a strictly faithful restoration of the famous Father Willis organ. He would not allow parts of the organ being refurbished to leave the cathedral, lest an unauthorized tonal alteration might be made without his approval, but he did work with the grandson of Father Willis, Henry Willis III, to modernize the organ’s action. Alcock had the distinction of playing at the coronation of three kings: Edward VII (1902); George V (1911); and George VI (1937). Between 1917-1924 he, with Harford Lloyd, juggled the post of Director of the Madrigal Society, assisting the ageing Sir Frederick Bridge, who had been appointed in 1888. Alcock was knighted in 1933 for services to music. He was a distinguished teacher, whose published material for organ students is still thought of value. He taught several notable pupils. He had the hobby of constructing a model railway at Salisbury on which choir boys could take rides. He was said to have all his musical talent and dexterity at the organ when age 80, that he had at age 50, and with greater maturity and mellowness. He died at age 85. His funeral service was at Salisbury Cathedral. John Perry
