Spoilers there:
This one was pretty easy, with first clue we could know that the composer in question had 95% chance of being english, so I was about to guess Vaughan Williams, Holst or Handel. (guessed Vaughan Williams obviously)
The second clue gave it away cause i knew Bach and Handel where almost blind at the end of their lifes, I didn't know that Zadok the priest was played at every coronations but i'm not surprised at all, cause he served royalty a lot with his compositions, and his compositions are often related to religion and english royalty has always had this religious figure. I knew he wrote a lot of operas and other musical compositions too, he was born in 1685 the same year as Johann Sebastian Bach and Domenico Scarlatti, he was indeed born in Germany and then became english. But i didn't know that the Messiah was first performed in Dublin.
So that's 90 points i guess
Thanks for sharing this, always good to test your knowledge.

1st clue- Hmm, probably an English composer? Vaughan Williams? Or maybe someone who was there for much of their life, Handel? I bet Handel...
2nd- If only you-d said deaf!! I-d have thought Beethoven.
3rd- Handel!! Should-ve caught it earlier!

Scored only 50. Totally tricked to think a British composer. When you said something like he mainly composed operas, I wondered if Britten, but somehow felt it was wrong. Anyway enjoyed quite a bit. Thanks!

Like Caters Carrots below, first clue I thought -Purcell or Handel-, but the blind clue did it. I don't think Purcell lived long enough to slowly go blind - died in his 30s as I recall.

Westminster Abbey is not a Cathedral, but a Royal Peculiar. St, Paul's is the Cathedral for London, north of the Thames. Southwark Cathedral is South of the Thames.
