Eric Harding Thiman (1900–1975) was a British composer and music educator known for his contributions to choral and organ music, as well as his work in educational contexts. His genre primarily encompasses classical music, with a strong emphasis on sacred choral works and organ compositions. Thiman studied at the Royal College of Music and was influenced by English choral traditions. Notable works include his choral settings such as "A Little Mass" and various anthems, which are often performed in church settings. He also composed a number of organ pieces that showcase his skill in creating rich, melodic textures suitable for liturgical use. Thiman's music often reflects the English choral heritage while incorporating contemporary elements of his time. Thiman's impact on music extends beyond his compositions; he was a dedicated educator who taught at various institutions, including the Royal Academy of Music. His efforts in promoting music education and choral singing have had a lasting influence on subsequent generations of musicians and composers, particularly within the context of church music in the UK.
