Haldane Campbell Stewart (1868–1942) was an English musician, composer and cricketer. He was organist and choirmaster of Magdalen College, Oxford, and a composer known for his liturgical music. Stewart played as a batsman for the Kent County Cricket team.
Stewart was born in Notting Hill, London, on 28 February 1868. He was the youngest of four sons born to John Stewart and Anne Winslow. Stewart's father, John Stewart, was the sixth Baron Appin, and a barrister of Lincoln's Inn. As a boy in 1879, Stewart sang as a chorister in the chapel of Magdalen College, Oxford, under Walter Parratt. Stewart remained in the choir until 1882. He returned to Magdalen as a classics exhibitioner from 1887 to 1891, and was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1893.
Stewart played in the cricket XI at Magdalen from 1890 to 1891. He played 75 matches as a batsman for the Kent County Cricket Club from 1892 to 1903, scoring 2829 runs at an average of 22.63 in first-class cricket. He toured the United States with the Kent team under the captaincy of Cuthbert Burnup in 1903. He scored 142 at Lord's against the M.C.C. in 1897 and scored 203 not out for Blackheath against Granville, Lee. He was also known for his fielding ability and took 41 catches in first class cricket. Stewart also played for the Marylebone Cricket Club (1897), the Gentlemen of Kent team (1892), Blackheath (1892–1896), the Free Foresters (1919) and I Zingari (1919).
Stewart was appointed to teach at Lancing College, West Sussex in 1891, where he became Director of Music. In 1896, he was appointed to Wellington College, Berkshire. From 1898 to 1919, he held the post of Director of Music at Tonbridge School, Kent. Stewart was awarded a Bachelor of Music in 1915, and in 1919 was awarded a Master of Arts and Doctor of Music. In 1919, he took up the post of organist and informator choristarum (organist and choirmaster) of Magdalen College, Oxford University, and was choragus of the university. During his lifetime, Stewart published liturgical choral music, songs and some instrumental works, and published a collection of tunes for the Music Syllabus of the Oxford and Cambridge Schools Examination Board. Notable among his works are a setting of Psalm 147 ("O Praise to the Lord"), and the carol, On this Day Earth Shall Ring. He provided assistance to John E. West in compiling the 1921 publication Cathedral organists past and present. In 1938, Stewart was succeeded at Magdalen College by William McKie, but returned to this post in 1941 due to McKie's wartime service with the Royal Air Force. He died at Headington, Oxfordshire, on 16 June 1942, at the age of 74, and was succeeded as organist at Magdalen by Philip J. Taylor in 1943.
