Joseph Philbrick Webster

1819 - 1875 Person Name: J. P. Webster Composer of "[When his salvation bringing]" in Gospel Bells Webster composed and performed popular music. He studied with Lowell Mason and was active musically in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, and directed a quartet company called the Euterpeans. In 1851, he moved to Madison, Indiana, followed by Chicago, Illinois (1855); Racine, Wisconsin (1856); and finally Elkhorn, Wisconsin (1859). Webster wrote over a thousand ballads and many hymns. His most famous secular song was his 1857 Lorena (words by Henry D. L. Webster). In its day, it was said to have been second in popularity only to Stephen Foster’s Suwanee River, and was sung by thousands of soldiers on both sides of the American civil war. An instrumental version appears in the 1939 film Gone with the Wind, when Scarlett O’Hara is manning the stall at the charity dance in her mourning outfit. The tune also made an appearance in two John Ford films: The Searchers, 1956, arranged by Max Steiner, and The Horse Soldiers, 1959, arranged by David Buttolph. (http://www.hymntime.com/tch)

Jacob Arcadelt

1505 - 1568 Person Name: Jacques Arcadelt Composer of "ARCADELT" in Children's Hymnal Jacob Arcadelt born in the Netherlands towards the end of the 15th century, died in Paris. The story that he was a pupil of Joaquin Deprès is probably untrue. In 1540 he was admitted into the Pontifical Choir at Rome, and in 1555 (?) entered the service of Cardinal Charles of Lorraine, Duke of Guise, whom he followed to Paris. Arcadelt was on of the many Flemish composers who migrated to Italy; he helped to found the "great" Roman school, and was one of Palestrina's most distinguished forerunners. he united French delicacy of sentiment, Flemish mastery of musical form, and Italian culture in quite an exceptional way, and was at once one of the most important and prolific composers of his day. Together with Willaert and Verdelot, he was one of the founders of the madrigal. His first book of 53 madrigals (Venice, 1538) reached it sixteenth edition in 1617, and was followed by five other books. If in his church compositions Arcadelt's style is of almost heroic grandeur, and shows the most complete mastery over all the intricacies of counterpoint (albeit he seems to have despised the then popular "Netherlandish tricks"), in his Italian madrigals we discover perhaps the first dawn of the sentimental element in music. His French chansons, on the other hand, are perfect little cabinet-pieces of contrapuntal elaborateness. Notwithstanding the glorious musical epoch which followed close upon his death. Arcadelt's works were long looked upon with the greatest veneration' Frecobaldi wrote an organ piece on a them "del Signore Arcadelt," and even Liszt wrote a pianofote piece on an Ave Maria of his.
