     Nunn, Edward Cuthbert (1868-1914)

    He was an organist, composer and translator of hymns born in Britain.  He published several works such as Four Old French Carols, Two Characteristic Pieces and Four Little Studies for the Pianoforte.  He composed the opera The Fairy Slipper, several pieces for the organ and piano, and is remembered for his translation of the French Christmas carol "Un Flambeau, Jeanette, Isabella" into the popular English version of "Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella".  The Edward Cuthbert Nunn Memorial Prize was an award given by the Royal Academy of Music.
