Who Taught the Men Who Wrote the Anthems

The Working Organists’ Lineage, 1880–1925

Masters and Pupils of 93 Composers of Anthems, Cantatas and Voluntaries for the Parish Choir, Traced from Norwich and Worcester to Brooklyn, Syracuse and Toronto
270 Persons220 ConnexionsEvery One Sourced

The anthems sung on any Sunday in 1915, in a Methodist church in Ohio or a chapel in Lancashire, were mostly written by organists who held ordinary posts. Few of them were cathedral men. This record asks who taught them, and whom they taught in turn.

Of the 93 composers on the list, 47 have at least one teacher named in a printed authority, and 26 have at least one pupil named. The record holds 220 connexions among 270 persons: 52 within Britain and Ireland, 21 from English teachers to men and women who later worked in America, 33 from the Continent, and 114 made at home.

The deepest English root is Dr Zechariah Buck of Norwich Cathedral, who trained 9 of the organists named here as choristers, apprentices or articled pupils. One of them, A. R. Gaul, taught Harvey B. Gaul of Pittsburgh in 1906; Harvey Gaul had studied with Dudley Buck in 1895. No kinship between the two Bucks is recorded, but they meet in that one pupil, and there the working line joins the cathedral line.

The sources are chiefly the British Musical Biography of 1897, Baker’s Dictionary of 1919 and the International Who’s Who in Music of 1918. Many entries in those books were supplied by the musicians themselves, and they are marked as such. Influence and admiration are not counted. Each connexion is marked Documented (217), Probable (2) or Reported (1).
