Alfred Robert Gaul (30 April 1837 — 13 September 1913) was an English composer, conductor, teacher and organist.
All Gaul…
Scholes reported the enormous number of vocal scores of Gaul's choral works which were sold by Novello and concluded that, "Decidedly Gaul was a 'best-seller'!" – Wikipedia
Show pity for Alfred R. Gaul,
Who held choral England in thrall,
Whose cantatas, once gold
For Novello, we're told,
Are scarcely remembered at all.
