Craig Sellar Lang (1891 - 1971) was a British-domiciled organist, music teacher, and composer.
Born in New Zealand, C. S. Lang (as he is generally known) worked as Director of Music at Christ's Hospital school in Horsham, West Sussex, from 1929 to 1945. Although he produced a fair quantity of songs and choral works, he is largely remembered today on the strength of just one hit for solo organ: his Tuba Tune, Opus 15, a favourite of recitalists. This dashing little piece, which owes its title to the boisterous melody sounded forth on the organ's tuba stop, begins in the style of Handel but, in its central section, has some brief key changes that could belong to no century except the 20th.
