Edgar Leslie Bainton (February 14, 1880–December 8, 1956) was a British composer, most celebrated for his church music. Easily his most famous piece is the liturgical anthem And I saw a New Heaven, but during recent years Bainton's other musical works - for decades neglected - have become increasingly often heard in the concert repertoire. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Edgar+Bainton">Read more on Last.fm</a>
