George Ebenezer Williams (30 August 1783 − 17 April 1819) was an English organist and composer.
[1][2] Born at Clerkenwell Green in London, Williams sang as a chorister at St Paul's Cathedral in London, studying with Robert Hudson and Richard Bellamy,[3] before serving as assistant organist at the Temple Church under Richard Stevens and at Westminster Abbey under Samuel Arnold.
[1] He began composing chant settings by the age of 12,[1] and his later works included other church music and compositions for piano.
[1] Following his death in office at the age of 35, he was buried in the south cloister of Westminster Abbey on 24th April 1819, but no monument or gravestone was erected in his memory.
[8] A copy of Spem in alium by Thomas Tallis was among the manuscripts from his library sold at auction after his death.
