Person Name: Unknown Author of "Lord, to Our Humble Prayers Attend" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

John Brownlie

1857 - 1925 Translator (from Greek) of "Lord, to Our Humble Prayers Attend" in The Cyber Hymnal Brownlie, John, was born at Glasgow, Aug. 6, 1857, and was educated at Glasgow University, and at the Free Church College in the same city. In 1884 he was licensed by the Presbytery of Glasgow; in 1885 he became Assistant Minister of the Free Church, Portpatrick, and on the death of the Senior Minister in 1890 he entered upon the full charge of the Church there. He has interested himself in educational matters, became a Member of the local School Board in 1888, a governor of Stranraer High School in 1897, and Chairman of the governors in 1901. His hymnological works are:— 1. The Hymns and Hymnwriters of the [Scottish] Church Hymnary, 1899. This is a biographical, historical, and critical companion to that hymnal, and is well done and accurate. 2. Hymns of Our Pilgrimage, 1889; Zionward; Hymns of the Pilgrim Life, 1890; and Pilgrim Songs, 1892. These are original hymns. The Rest of God, 1894, a poem in three parts. 3.

Hymns from East and West, Being Translations from the Poetry of the Latin and Greek Churches . . . 1898. 5. Hymns of the Greek Church, Translated with Introduction and Notes, 1900. Second Series: Hymns of the Holy Eastern Church, Translated from the Service Books, with Introductory Chapters on the History, Doctrine and Worship of the Church, 1902. Third Series: Hymns from the Greek Office Books, Together with Centos and Suggestions, 1904. Fourth Series: Hymns from the East, Being Centos and Suggestions from the Office Books of the Holy Eastern Church, 1906. Of Mr. Brownlie's original hymns the following have come into common use:— 1. Ever onward, ever upward. Aspiration. From Pilgrim Songs, 3rd Series, 1892, p. 11. 2. Girt with heavenly armour. The Armour of God. Pilgrim Songs, 3rd Series, 1892, p. 49. 3.

The flowers have closed their eyes. Evening Pilgrim Songs, 3rd series, 1892, p. 6tf. 8. There is a song which the angels sing. The Angels' Song. A cento from the poem The Best of God, 1894, p. 36. 9. Thou art my Portion, saith my soul. God, the Portion of His People. From Pilgrim Songs, 1892, p. 45. 10. Close beside the heart that loves me. Resting in God. This is one of the author's "Suggestions " based upon the spirit rather than the words of portions of the Greek Offices. It was given in Hymns of the Holy Eastern Church, 1902, p. 128. Mr. Brownlie's translations from the Latin have been adopted in the hymnals to a limited extent only, mainly because the ground had been so extensively and successfully covered by former translators. With the translations from the Greek the case was different, as for popular use few translations were available in addition to the well known and widely used renderings by Dr. Neale. Mr. Brownlie's translations have all the beauty, simplicity, earnestness, and elevation of thought and feeling which characterise the originals. Their suitability for general use is evidenced in the fact that the number found in the most recently published hymn-books, including Church Hymns, 1903, The New Office Hymn Book, 1905, and The English Hymnal, 1906, almost equal in number those by Dr. Neale. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)

Thomas F. Dunhill

1877 - 1946 Person Name: Thomas Frederick Dunhill, 1877-1946 Composer of "BEATUS" in The Cyber Hymnal Born: February 1, 1877, Hamp­stead, Lon­don, Eng­land. Died: March 13, 1946, Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, Eng­land. Buried: Appleby, Lincolnshire, England. Dunhill was a gif­ted pi­a­no stu­dent, and a child­hood en­thu­si­ast for the light op­er­as of Gil­bert & Sull­i­van, whose work he em­u­lat­ed by com­pos­ing a number of small op­er­et­tas in his teens. In 1893, he en­rolled at the Roy­al Col­lege of Mu­sic, London, stu­dy­ing pi­a­no­for­te un­der Frank­lin Tay­lor and com­po­si­tion un­der Charles Stan­ford. His con­tem­po­rar­ies in­clud­ed Ralph Vaugh­an Will­iams, Gus­tav Holst, and John Irel­and, who re­mained a life­long friend. He won an open schol­ar­ship for com­po­si­tion in 1897. Dunhill was a mu­sic-mas­ter at Eton Col­lege for sev­er­al years be­fore be­com­ing a pro­fess­or at the Roy­al Col­lege of Mu­sic in 1905. From 1907-19 he gave con­certs of cham­ber mu­sic in Lon­don. He him­self wrote cham­ber mu­sic and al­so songs and song-cyc­les. His song-cycle The Wind Among the Reeds, for ten­or voice and or­ches­tra, was first per­formed by Ger­vase El­wes with the Roy­al Phil­har­mon­ic Orc­hes­tra at Queen’s Hall in 1912. His set­ting of Will­iam But­ler Yeats’ "The Cloths of Heaven" is well known. El­wes (with Fred­erick B. Kid­dle) recorded his song "A Sea Dirge," a set­ting of Shakes­peare’s lyr­ic "Full fathom five." In Ju­ly 1918, Dun­hill chaired the meet­ing of Di­rec­tors of the Roy­al Phil­har­mon­ic So­ci­e­ty which set out to re­claim dem­o­cra­tic con­trol of the So­ci­e­ty’s af­fairs when, dur­ing World War I, they had large­ly fall­en un­der the sin­gle, if high­ly be­nev­o­lent, con­trol of Thom­as Beech­am and his sec­re­ta­ry Don­ald Bay­lis. Dunhill gave a con­cert of mu­sic by Bri­tish com­pos­ers in Bel­grade in 1922, which in­clud­ed his own Sym­pho­ny in A min­or com­posed dur­ing the war, and in 1924 con­trib­ut­ed Ser­bi­an ar­ti­cles to the Dent Musical Dictionary/. After the war, Dun­hill’s work shift­ed from or­ches­tral and cham­ber mu­sic to­ward light op­era and other genres. In 1931, his light op­era Tan­ti­vy Tow­ers was a con­sid­er­a­ble suc­cess in London, and a suite of ball­et mov­ements, Gal­li­mauf­ry, was per­formed in Ham­burg in 1937. Dur­ing the 1920s and 1930s, he wrote ve­ry ma­ny small piec­es for pi­a­no, for mu­si­cians to play at home, ma­ny of which were pub­lished. Some of his el­e­men­ta­ry piec­es are still used by the As­so­ci­at­ed Board (ABRSM) for ex­am­in­a­tions. Dunhill had from 1906 been a sen­ior ex­am­in­er for the ABRSM, tak­ing him over­seas on sev­er­al oc­ca­sions. Dunhill led a bu­sy life as an ad­min­is­tra­tor, in ad­di­tion to his work as a com­pos­er, teach­er and ex­am­in­er. He adjud­i­cat­ed at sev­er­al re­gion­al mu­sic fes­tiv­als, lec­tured and oc­ca­sion­al­ly broad­cast on the BBC. In the ear­ly 1940s he com­posed a num­ber of suites for wind in­stru­ments, which con­tin­ue to be popular. In 1914, Dun­hill mar­ried Mol­ly Ar­nold, a great-grand-daughter of Thom­as Ar­nold of Rug­by. She died of tu­ber­cu­lo­sis in 1929. They had three child­ren. (One of his sons, Da­vid Dun­hill, 1917-2005, was a BBC ra­dio an­nounc­er for ma­ny years.) In 1942, he ­mar­ried Is­o­bel Fea­ton­by; they both be­came mu­sic teach­ers at Eton Coll­ege dur­ing World War II. Dunhill’s works include: Chamber Mu­sic: A Trea­tise for Stud­ents (Lon­don: Mac­mil­lan, 1913) "Edward Ger­man, An Ap­pre­ci­a­tion"(Mu­sic­al Times, Vol. 77, No. 1126 (De­cem­ber 1936), pp. 1073–77) Sullivan’s Com­ic Op­er­as—A Cri­ti­cal Ap­pre­ci­a­tion (Lon­don: Ed­ward Ar­nold, 1928) Sir Ed­ward Elg­ar (Lon­don: Black­ie & Son, 1938) © The Cyber Hymnal™ (www.hymntime.com/tch)
