Samuel Wesley (1766-1837) was an influential English composer and organist, known for his efforts to introduce the music of J.S. Bach to England. He was the son of Charles Wesley, the famous hymn writer, and the nephew of John Wesley, the founder of Methodism.

Wesley began composing at a young age, publishing “Eight Lessons for the Harpsichord” at just 11 years old, and he became one of the finest organists and extemporizers of his time. His notable works include symphonies, concerti, services, anthems, and motets, with “Exultate Deo” and “In exitu Israel” standing out.

He also collaborated with K.F. Horn to publish an English edition of Bach’s “Das Wohltemperierte Klavier” (The Well-Tempered Clavier). Wesley’s contributions to music were not limited to composition; he was also a respected conductor and lecturer.
