Happy the Souls to Jesus Joined

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #718 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Happy the souls to Jesus joined, And saved by grace alone, Walking in all His ways they find Their heaven on earth begun. 2. The Church triumphant in Thy love, Their mighty joys we know; They sing the Lamb in hymns above, And we in hymns below. 3. Thee in Thy glorious realm they praise, And bow before Thy throne, We in the kingdom of Thy grace: The kingdoms are but one. 4. The holy to the holiest leads, From thence our spirits rise, And he that in Thy statutes treads Shall meet Thee in the skies. Tune Title: BALLERMA

William Croft

1678 - 1727 Composer of "ST. ANN'S" in Sacred Hymns and Tunes William Croft, Mus. Doc. was born in the year 1677 and received his musical education in the Chapel Royal, under Dr. Blow. In 1700 he was admitted a Gentleman Extraordinary of the Chapel Boyd; and in 1707, upon the decease of Jeremiah Clarke, he was appointed joint organist with his mentor, Dr. Blow. In 1709 he was elected organist of Westminster Abbey. This amiable man and excellent musician died in 1727, in the fiftieth year of his age. A very large number of Dr. Croft's compositions remain still in manuscript. Cathedral chants of the XVI, XVII & XVIII centuries, ed. by Edward F. Rimbault, London: D. Almaine & Co., 1844

George Frideric Handel

1685 - 1759 Person Name: George Frederick Handel (1685-1759) Composer of "CHRISTMAS" in Carmina Sanctorum George Frideric Handel (b. Halle, Germany, 1685; d. London, England, 1759) became a musician and composer despite objections from his father, who wanted him to become a lawyer. Handel studied music with Zachau, organist at the Halle Cathedral, and became an accomplished violinist and keyboard performer. He traveled and studied in Italy for some time and then settled permanently in England in 1713. Although he wrote a large number of instrumental works, he is known mainly for his Italian operas, oratorios (including Messiah, 1741), various anthems for church and royal festivities, and organ concertos, which he interpolated into his oratorio performances. He composed only three hymn tunes, one of which (GOPSAL) still appears in some modern hymnals. A number of hymnal editors, including Lowell Mason, took themes from some of Handel's oratorios and turned them into hymn tunes; ANTIOCH is one example, long associated with “Joy to the World.” Bert Polman

John Bacchus Dykes

1823 - 1876 Person Name: John B. Dykes Composer of "ST. AGNES" in The Hymnal As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern. Bert Polman
