Susan Adams

Author of "I Come to Be Baptized Today" in Chalice Hymnal Susan L. Adams, served on editorial committee for the Chalice Hymnal Dianne Shapiro

1614 - 1687 Author of "When Christ His Body Up Had Born" in The Cyber Hymnal More, Henry, D.D., was b. at Grantham in 1614, and educated at Eton and Christ's College, Cambridge, where he graduated in 1635, and became a Fellow of his College in 1639. He declined various offers of high preferment. He spent his time mainly in the study of philosophy and as a private tutor. He died in 1687. In 1640 he published his Psychozoia, or the First Part of the Sony of the Soul, containing a Christiano-Platonic display of Life. In 1647 this was republished with additions as Philosophical Poems. His poems, collected and edited by Dr. Grosart, are included in the Chertsey Worthies Library. His "Philosopher's Devotion," beginning "Sing aloud! His praise rehearse," is given in Macdonald's England's Antiphon. His Memoirs were published in 1710. His Divine Dialogues with Divine Hymns added thereto were published in 1668. From a hymn in this work, beginning "When Christ His body up had borne," J. Wesley took 10 stanzas and moulded them into two hymns, which lie included in the Wesleyan Hymn Book, 1780, as "Father, if justly still we claim" (The Holy Spirit desired), No. 444; and "On all the earth Thy Spirit shower," No. 445. These hymns are in common use in Great Britain and America. [W. T. Brooke] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

G. W. Chadwick

1854 - 1931 Person Name: George Whitefield Chadwick Composer of "EATON" in The Cyber Hymnal Educator, administrator, organist, conductor, and principal composer of the Second New England School, whose members also included John Knowles Paine, Horatio Parker, and Amy Marcy Beach, George W. Chadwick taught several generations of American musicians at the New England Conservatory, and came to be regarded as the standard bearer of the Yankee academic tradition in music. Born in Lowell, MA. on November 13, 1854, Chadwick studied organ with his older brother and used his earnings as an organist to finance the musical studies which his father opposed. After leaving high school in 1872, he clerked for a brief time in his father's insurance office while studying with Dudley Buck and Eugene Thayer at the New England Conservatory. Upon graduation in 1876 he accepted an appointment as a music instructor at Mt. Olivet College in Michigan and founded the Music Teachers National Association. In 1877 Chadwick embarked on the pilgrimage which was considered de rigeur for American musicians; he sailed for Germany to study in Leipzig and Munich with such famous pedagogues as Rheinberger. His RIP VAN WINKLE OVERTURE, composed abroad to an American theme, won him some early notice, and before returning to the States in 1880, he tasted a bit of the bohemian life by tramping the Continent with a group of avant garde artists and writers called the Duvenek Boys. New England Conservatory From 1877 to his appointment to the Directorship of the New England Conservatory in 1897, Chadwick built his career as a Boston teacher, organist, and composer. Among his celebrated pupils were Horatio Parker, who, in turn taught Charles Ives, Daniel Gregory Mason, and Frederick Shepherd Converse. Chadwick's compositional style has been dubbed "Boston Classicism." Though there is a distinct academic foundation to his music, his works also reflect a certain Yankee bluntness and retain the hints of his colorful vagabond days. In his mature period to which his powerful verismo opera, THE PADRONE, and his lyric drama, JUDITH, belong, Chadwick's music makes significant strides in freeing the American idiom from the German conservatory style. Sensitive, also, to indigenous influences, Chadwick made use of African-American song, Anglo-American psalmody, and folk idioms in his symphonic compositions. His 137 songs for solo voice and piano reflect a deep-seated interest in contemporary poetry in a Romantic vein. Among his best known settings are two cycles by Boston poet Arlo Bates: A FLOWER CYCLE and TOLD IN THE GATE. --www.pbs.org/wnet/ihas/composer/chadwick.html

Ada Roeper-Boulogne

b. 1931 Versifier of "How Lovely Is Your House, O LORD" in Psalter Hymnal (Gray) Ada Roeper-Boulogne (b. Haarlem, the Netherlands, 1931) received her elementary education at the Dutch-Chinese Christian School in Central Java, Indonesia (then the Dutch East Indies), where her father, an organist and rebuilder of organs, served as a missionary and teacher. After Japan conquered Indonesia during World War II (1942), Roeper-Boulogne's family was placed in a concentration camp and remained there until 1945. Because a teacher organized a children's choir in the camp, even there Roeper-Boulogne was not totally devoid of music. In 1946 the family returned to the Netherlands and in 1951 immigrated to St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. Roeper-Boulogne has translated several Dutch songs and is the author of "Little Children Be Happy," which was published in Bible Steps (1983). Bert Polman
