Reading, John

 

English organist; lay-vicar of Lincoln Cathedral in 1667, and in 1670 master of choristers. From 1675 to 1681 he was organist of Winchester Cathedral, and in the latter year became organist of Winchester College. He was the composer of a hymn, Dulce Domum, contained in the collection, Harmonica Wiccamica, and presumably of the Adeste fideles, known as the Portuguese hymn.
