A pupil of John Blow at the Chapel Royal, William Croft became organist of St Anne’s, Soho, in 1700, Master of the Children of the Chapel Royal in 1707, and succeeded Blow as organist of Westminster Abbey in 1708. His Funeral Sentences have been sung at every British state funeral since their publication; he also left thirteen organ voluntaries and the hymn tune St Anne.
