Randall Thompson (21 April 1899 – 9 July 1984) was an American composer, particularly noted for his choral works.
Alleluia, Ditto, Ditto
Randall Thompson’s "Alleluia" has
A gentle aura with no razzmatazz;
In fact, this lovely anthem soothes the soul
By quietly avoiding rigmarole.
For many years it’s held its place, although in
Recent times, one-upped by Leonard Cohen.

Lionel Rogg (b. 21 April 21 1936) is a Swiss organist and composer. He is best known for performing the music of Bach, whose complete organ works he has recorded three times.
Overdoing Doing Over; or, Bach, Ditto, Ditto
Lionel Rogg recorded Bach complete.
You’d think that would suffice.
And yet Herr Rogg achieve this mammoth feat
Not once, not twice, but thrice!
