ST. GERTRUDE?:

Arthur Sullivan did not want to be remembered for his comic operas with W S Gilbert. "My sacred music is that on which I base my reputation as a composer," he wrote. "These works are the offspring of my liveliest fancy, the children of my greatest strength."

Perhaps, but even among his sacred pieces, it is not his oratorios, The Prodigal Son or The Light of the World, that are sung. By far the most popular sacred music that came from Sullivan's pen is the tune for Onward, Christian Soldiers.
