Sir Percy Hull (b. Hereford, England, 27 October 1878 – d. Farnham, Surrey, 31 August 1968)[1] was an English organist and composer who revived the Three Choirs Festival during his time as organist of Hereford Cathedral from 1918 to 1949. A friend of Edward Elgar and Ralph Vaughan Williams, he was involved in the first performance of Vaughan Williams' Two Hymn Preludes and Prelude and Fugue in C minor for Orchestra.
He was knighted in 1947 for his services to music and his work in the revival of the Three Choirs Festival after World War II.
