W. T. Giffe

1848 - 1926 Composer of "[Oh, the bells of time are chiming softly]" in Glory Bells Born: June 28, 1848, Port­land, In­di­a­na. Died: Ju­ly 13, 1926, Se­at­tle, Wash­ing­ton. Buried: Mount Hope Cem­e­te­ry, Lo­gans­port, In­di­a­na. Giffe grew up in Coll­ege Cor­ners, In­di­a­na (near Port­land), and served in the Army dur­ing the clos­ing days of the Amer­i­can ci­vil war. Af­ter the war, he at­tend­ed Li­ber Coll­ege, and stu­died law for two years. While in col­lege, he was a mem­ber of the col­lege glee club, and took les­sons in the col­lege sing­ing school. Lat­er, he stu­died with teach­ers such as J. W. Suff­ern, George Root, Lu­ther Em­er­son, Ho­ra­tio Pal­mer, and Hen­ry Perk­ins. Giffe had a fine bar­i­tone voice, and was in de­mand as a con­cert sing­er. He soon be­came pop­u­lar as a chor­us di­rect­or and con­ven­tion con­duct­or. His first book for sing­ing schools was New Fa­vo­rite, which sold thou­sands of co­pies. The Ol­iv­er Dit­son Com­pa­ny of Bos­ton, Mass­a­chu­setts, pub­lished ma­ny of his ear­ly works, but Giffe went on to form his own pub­lish­ing house, the Home Mu­sic Com­pa­ny, in Lo­gans­port, In­di­a­na. He al­so ed­it­ed the Home Mu­sic Jour­nal for sev­er­al years. Lat­er, Giffe be­came su­per­vis­or of mu­sic in the pub­lic schools in his home town. And he was one of three men se­lect­ed to de­liv­er an ad­dress in Lo­gans­port, In­di­a­na, at the me­mor­i­al ser­vic­es for as­sas­sin­at­ed pre­si­dent Will­iam Mc­Kin­ley. Giffe and his wife Nan­cy had no child­ren. His works in­clude: The Bril­liant, 1874 Crown of Gold, with Frank Da­vis (Lo­gans­port, In­di­a­na: Home Mu­sic Com­pa­ny, 1892) The New Deal, with Lou­is Eich­horn (Lo­gans­port, In­di­a­na: Home Mu­sic Com­pa­ny, 1898) A Prac­ti­cal Course in Har­mo­ny and Mu­sic­al Com­po­si­tion --www.hymntime.com/tch
