Answer the following question: Found the following article online, use it to answer the question: What is the full name of the person that started the National Anthem?  In 1894 Wood went to the Wagner festival at Bayreuth where he met the conductor Felix Mottl, who subsequently appointed him as his assistant and chorus master for a series of Wagner concerts at the newly built Queen's Hall in London.
