It takes the tune from an earlier work, Siciliano , by the English composer Thomas Arne (1710-1778), who is best known for writing the patriotic song Rule, Britannia! while working at the Drury Lane Theatre in London. Geoffrey Shaw (1879-1943) was a British composer, organist and teacher. He was a chorister at St Paul’s Cathedral before going on to study under Charles Stanford and Charles Wood.
