Francis Ridley Havergal Hymnwriter
Francis Ridley Havergal has had a profound influence over the hearts of Christians for well over a century Born in England in 1836, her father was an Episcopal Minister, composer, and hymnwriter. After studying in England and Germany, Miss Havergal became a brilliant singer and pianist, and a glittering career in society was open before her. But she considered her talents to be loans from the Lord, to be used in His service. Miss Havergal longed for a deeper knowledge of God and was brought to see that she could not have the full blessedness of the Christian life without a full surrender to Christ. In 1874, she wrote the beautiful consecration hymn, "Take My Life and Let it Be." Years later, she wrote in a letter, "I had a great time early this morning renewing the never-regretted consecration." This gifted woman died in Wales at the age of forty-three. On her tombstone is engraved her favorite text: "The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin.".

Morning Bells Or Waking Thoughts for the Little Ones
Frances Ridley Havergal was a 19th century English religious poet and hymn writer. Havergal wrote Little Pillows a short book of children's stories for bedtime. She then decided to write a book for morning. In the beginning of this book she wrote: "But in the morning we want something to arouse us, and to help us to go brightly and bravely through the day. So here are "Morning Bells" to waken up the little hearts, and to remind them that we must not only rest in Jesus, but walk in Him. If the motto of "Little Pillows" might be "Come to Jesus," the motto of "Morning Bells" might be 'Follow Jesus.' ".

Havergal Brian on Music: Volume Two: European and American Music in his Time (Musicians on Music)
In this second volume of selections from his journalism, written over four decades between 1907 and 1946, the maverick English composer Havergal Brian (1876-1972) directs his enquiring mind at the music being composed in France, Germany, Italy and elsewhere, while he and his British contemporaries were fighting to establish new music at home. Richard Strauss figures prominently among the composers discussed, beginning with reviews of Hallé and Queen's Hall concerts in 1907 and 1910. But even Strauss was not treated as lavishly as another whose music clearly fascinated Brian deeply: Arnold Schoenberg. From Gurrelieder to the Violin Concerto, Brian emerges as one of Schoenberg's most sympathetic and understanding champions among the English critical fraternity in the inter-War period. Other composers featured include Bartók, Berg, Busoni, Debussy, Dohnányi, Dukas, Glazunov, Grieg, Hindemith, Kilpinen, Lehár, Mahler, Messager, Puccini, Rachmaninov, Ravel, Respighi, Shostakovich, Sibelius, Sousa, Stravinsky, Szymanowski, Tailleferre and Varèse - as well as figures now obscure such as Alfred Bruneau, August Bungert, César Géloso and Wilhelm Kienzl. Malcolm MacDonald's introductions and annotations provide the background to each piece and cast light on Brian's more obscure references..
