John Henry Maunder 1858-1920

About this time each year, I dig out a 1964 recording of 'Olivet to Calvary' by Henry Maunder.  It is not great music but is memorable and melodic.  It is the only piece I have heard by Maunder who wrote mainly cantatas and church music.  I am wondering if he wrote any purely orchestral music or chamber music.

Maunder pretty much confined himself to unpretentious church-cantatas, anthems, hymns and a handful of instrumental works including Chanson Pathétique, for violin and piano (1909) and a Romance in B flat for cello and piano (1907).

There don't appear to be any independent orchestral works although he did orchestrate his cantatas The Martyrs (1894), Olivet to Calvary (1904) and Song of Thanksgiving (1905).
