Henry Willis

Henry Willis

Henry Father Willis (* 27. April 1821 in London; † 11. Februar 1901, ebenda) war ein Orgelbauer aus England. Seine Orgeln unterschieden sich grundsätzlich von den deutschen Orgeln. Sein Sohn Henry Willis II und sein Enkel Henry Willis III führten den Betrieb später fort. Sigfrid Karg-Elert widmete Henry Willis seine Passacaglia über B-A-C-H, Louis Vierne das bekannte Carillon du Westminster.
