Oswald Mosley Feilden

1837 - 1924 Person Name: O. M. Feilden, b. 1837 Hymnal Title: Church Hymns Composer of "EDEN" in Church Hymns Born: September 16, 1837, Canterbury, England. Died: June 19, 1924, Oswestry, England. Buried: St. Andrew’s Church, Welsh Frankton, Ellesmere, Shropshire, England. Feilden graduated from Christ Church College, Oxford, in 1859, and in 1861 became assistant Curate at Whittington, Shropshire, under William How. In addition to his pastoral duties, Feilden was a keen botanist, and was president of the Offa Field Club (a local botanical group formed in 1888), and was responsible for much of the data and population work on wild flowers in the locality. His colleague Thomas Diamond published Flora of Oswestry, their account of the botany of the area, in 1891, though it seems Feilden was the botanist while Diamond was the collator. The book included the first recording of Mountain Everlasting (Antennaria dioica) on Llanymynech Hill, Juniper (Juniperus communis) at Carregybig and Creeping Willow (Salix repens) at Glopa. --www.hymntime.com/tch

Joseph Barnby

1838 - 1896 Hymnal Title: Hymn Tunes Composer of "VIA CRUCIS" in Hymn Tunes Joseph Barnby (b. York, England, 1838; d. London, England, 1896) An accomplished and popular choral director in England, Barby showed his musical genius early: he was an organist and choirmaster at the age of twelve. He became organist at St. Andrews, Wells Street, London, where he developed an outstanding choral program (at times nicknamed "the Sunday Opera"). Barnby introduced annual performances of J. S. Bach's St. John Passion in St. Anne's, Soho, and directed the first performance in an English church of the St. Matthew Passion. He was also active in regional music festivals, conducted the Royal Choral Society, and composed and edited music (mainly for Novello and Company). In 1892 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. His compositions include many anthems and service music for the Anglican liturgy, as well as 246 hymn tunes (published posthumously in 1897). He edited four hymnals, including The Hymnary (1872) and The Congregational Sunday School Hymnal (1891), and coedited The Cathedral Psalter (1873). Bert Polman
