FULLER MAITLAND/RAYMOND HOCKLEY (1, 2), WILLIAM AIDE/RAYMOND HOCKLEY (3) Naylor (1) John Naylor(b Stanningley, nr Leeds, 8 June 1838; d at sea, 15 May 1897). Organist and composer. He was organist and choirmaster at St Mary's, Scarborough, then, after gaining two Oxford Music degrees (BMus 1863, DMus 1872), at All Saints, Scarborough, and at York Minster. His works, primarily choral, show originality: in the cantatas Meribah and Manna the voice of God is sung by three voices in harmony, and in the anthem Know ye not that there is a prince? he introduced bagpipes. He championed a diversity of unfamiliar music ranging from Bach to Wagner. Naylor (2) Edward (Woodall) Naylor(b Scarborough, 9 Feb 1867; d Cambridge, 7 May 1934). Organist, composer and writer on music, son of (1) John Naylor. Having learnt much as a child from his father, he studied at Cambridge (BA 1887, MusB 1891, MusD 1897) and at the RCM with Stanford and Frederick Bridge. He held appointments as organist of St Michael's, Chester Square (1889–96), and St Mary's, Kilburn (1896–7), before returning to Cambridge as organist of his old college, Emmanuel, where in 1904 he was appointed lecturer. His most important compositions are vocal. The Angelus, winner of the Ricordi prize for an English opera, was produced at Covent Garden in 1909 and broadcast in 1923. His extensive output of church music incorporates elements from the 16th to the 20th centuries. A leading authority on Shakespeare and music, he was an early exponent of greater musical authenticity.

Composer, organist and conductor, son of (2) Edward Naylor. He studied with Vaughan Williams, Holst and Ireland at the RCM (1924–7) as organ scholar, then went to Exeter College, Oxford (BMus 1930), where he conducted the university opera club. In 1932 he moved to Winnipeg, Canada and became conductor of the Philharmonic Choir, the Male Voice Choir and the Winnipeg SO. He returned to England to take an appointment as organist and director of music at Queen's College, Oxford (1936–9), but in 1940 he was back in Canada, where in 1942 he formed the Little SO of Montreal. He returned to England to teach at the universities of Oxford (1950–52) and Reading (1953–9). In 1959 he settled permanently in Canada, in Victoria, British Columbia, and gave his attention to composition. As the Missa sine Credo and the Magnificat and Nunc dimittis illustrate, his music is fastidious and emotionally restrained, combining the use of canon and inversion with melodies that often move by step or in minor 3rds. The Stabat Mater, first performed at the 1964 Three Choirs Festival, exhibits characteristic passages in contrary motion. His musical idiom, marked by sensitive text setting, scrupulous craftsmanship and graceful chromatic counterpoint, and exemplified by his Nine Motets, had individuality but little influence on other composers.
