At about the age of eighteen his mind was turned towards religious truths by reading Boston's Fourfold State. From that date he became an ardent evangelist, and in 1744 (the year of the first Methodist Conference) he begun to preach. Removing to London some short time after, he became acquainted with the Wesleys, M. Madan, A. M. Toplady, J. Fletcher, and other earnest evangelical men. After conducting for some years the Greenwich Royal Park Academy, he resigned in favour of his son-in-law, Dr. James Egau, and employed much of his time in preaching at various places for the Wesleyans. He died at Lewisham, near Greenwich, March 18, 1819, aged 98, and was buried in the Wesleyan burying ground connected with the City Road Chapel, London. Mr. Bakewell was the author of a few hymns, the best known being, "Hail Thou once despised Jesus," the abbreviations of the same, "Paschal Lamb, by God appointed," and “Jesus, hail, enthroned in glory." A short memoir of him was published by Mr. Stelfox, Belfast, 1864. - John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) See also in: Hymn Writers of the Church

Bernard Huijbers

1922 - 2003 Person Name: Bernard Huijbers, 1922-2003 Topics: Ascension of the Lord Harmonizer of "BELLE QUI TIENS MA VIE" in RitualSong (2nd ed.) Bernard Huijbers (1922 - 2003), a native of Holland, was one of the leading composers of contemporary liturgical music. Approximately 200 works have resulted from his collaboration with Huub Oosterhuis, the well-known Dutch poet and liturgist. A former Jesuit, Huijbers studied under Ernest Mulder during his Jesuit course of studies, receiving the state certificate for musical theory in 1951. Later, he studied at the Arnsterdam Conservatory and received the certificate for school music in 1960. He served as senior master of school music and choirmaster at St. Ignatius College, Amsterdam, until 1969. Afterwards, he served as composer, choir director and liturgical team member at St. Dominic's parish in Amsterdam. His development as composer and choir director can be traced through a list of his principal musical activities. While studying under Mulders, he directed performances of Palestrina’s Missa Lauda Sion, Brevis and Papae Marcelli. He composed a Missa Matris Dei and Cantus Organi (1950), and Four Marion Anthems for a four-to-eight voice male choir (1949 - 51). During his theological studies, he published a Te Deum and an Organ Suite (1954 - 55). After 1956, performances of religious masterpieces by Schütz, Purcell and Buxtehude led to the first liturgical experiments, culminating in a Dutch-language Passion According to St. John in 1959. In 1961, Huijbers was among the founders of the Student Work Group for a Vernacular Liturgy in Amsterdam, which evolved into the independent Foundation for a Vernacular Liturgy, through which Huijbers and Oosterhuis released their joint efforts. After 1961, Huijbers composed a wealth of material, and eleven Dutch music collections of the Huijbers/Oosterhuis material have been released, including Turn Your Heart to Me and Wake Your Power, published by OCP. His widely acclaimed book, The Performing Audience, examines the scope and direction of renewal in liturgical music (Pastoral Press). Huijbers believed that liturgical music must be simple, that the assembly must be viewed as a "performing audience" and that the music must bring life to what it celebrates. Huijbers' work as composer and choir director reflects his years of close contact with people throughout Europe and in the United States. --www.ocp.org/artists
