William W. Gilchrist

1846 - 1916 Arranger of "SCHUBERT" in The Hymnal Born: January 8, 1846, Jersey City, New Jersey. Died: December 20, 1916, Easton, Pennsylvania. Buried: Saint Thomas’ Episcopal Church, Fort Washington, Pennsylvania. Gilchrist’s family moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, when William was nine years old. He attended school there until the outbreak of the American civil war, when his father’s business failed and William had to seek other work. Having a good voice, he sang in choirs and choruses, first as a soprano, and later a smooth, flexible baritone. He began singing some of the principal parts in the Handel and Haydn Society, where his first real musical life began. At age 19, Gilchrist began studying organ and voice with Professor H. A. Clarke, gradually concentrating on theory. At age 25, he spent a year in Cincinnati, Ohio, as organist and teacher, returning to Philadelphia to take post of choir master at St. Clement’s Protestant Episcopal Church. He later became conductor of the Mendelssohn Club, Tuesday Club of Wilmington, and Philadelphia Symphony Society. Gilchrist was best known as a composer. His first success was in 1878, winning two prizes from the Abt Society of Philadelphia for best choruses for male voices. In 1881, he won three similar prizes from the Mendelssohn Glee Club of New York. In 1884, he took a $1,000 prize from the Cincinnati Festival Association; the judges included Saint-Saëns, Reinecke, and Theodore Thomas. This work was an elaborate setting of the Forty-Sixth Psalm, and was enthusiastically received. Gilchrist afterwards modified it and brought it out at the Philadelphia Festival in 1885. Gilchrist also served as editor of the 1895 Presbyterian hymnal, as musical editor of The Magnificat in 1910, and wrote symphonies, chamber and choral music. His works include: An Easter Idyll Psalm 46 (New York: 1882) One Hundred and Third Psalm Ninetieth Psalm Fifth Psalm Prayer and Praise De Profundis The Rose (New York: 1887) Ode to the Sun A Christmas Idyll (Boston, Massachusetts: 1898) The Lamb of God (New York: 1909) www.hymntime.com/tch/

Jacob Arcadelt

1505 - 1568 Person Name: Jacques Arcadelt, c.1514-1560 Composer (attributed to) of "ARCADELT" in The Book of Praise Jacob Arcadelt born in the Netherlands towards the end of the 15th century, died in Paris. The story that he was a pupil of Joaquin Deprès is probably untrue. In 1540 he was admitted into the Pontifical Choir at Rome, and in 1555 (?) entered the service of Cardinal Charles of Lorraine, Duke of Guise, whom he followed to Paris. Arcadelt was on of the many Flemish composers who migrated to Italy; he helped to found the "great" Roman school, and was one of Palestrina's most distinguished forerunners. he united French delicacy of sentiment, Flemish mastery of musical form, and Italian culture in quite an exceptional way, and was at once one of the most important and prolific composers of his day. Together with Willaert and Verdelot, he was one of the founders of the madrigal. His first book of 53 madrigals (Venice, 1538) reached it sixteenth edition in 1617, and was followed by five other books. If in his church compositions Arcadelt's style is of almost heroic grandeur, and shows the most complete mastery over all the intricacies of counterpoint (albeit he seems to have despised the then popular "Netherlandish tricks"), in his Italian madrigals we discover perhaps the first dawn of the sentimental element in music. His French chansons, on the other hand, are perfect little cabinet-pieces of contrapuntal elaborateness. Notwithstanding the glorious musical epoch which followed close upon his death. Arcadelt's works were long looked upon with the greatest veneration' Frecobaldi wrote an organ piece on a them "del Signore Arcadelt," and even Liszt wrote a pianofote piece on an Ave Maria of his.
