Professor H. W. Parker.
[Review of Reviews.]
What Professor Paine has done for
Harvard, Prof. Horatio William Parker
has done and is doing for Yale. As a
choral composer of note he is the fore-
most of Americans. Professor Parker
is still in the prime of life, having been
born at Auburndale, Mass., on Septem-
ber 16, 1863. He went to Europe in
1882, studied in Munich with Rheinber-
ger, and returned to the United States
in 1885. After a most successful career
of teaching in various schools and for
a time in the National Conservatory at
New York, and officiating meanwhile
as organist in various churches, he came
to Boston in 1893 as organist and choir
director of Trinity Church. In 1894 he
was appointed professor of music at
Yale University, though he still re-
tained his position at Trinity Church
in Boston, and since that time he has
been the head of the Department of
Music at Yale.
Professor Parker has composed up-
ward of forty-four works of importance,
the latest being “St. Christopher,” a
dramatic oratorio, performed in New
York for the first time on April 15,
1898. His principal work is without
doubt “Hora Novissima,” a setting of
the ancient poem of St. Bernard, which
was finished in December, 1892. In
this Mr. Parker has a clear field. No-
body has ever attempted to set this
poem to music before because of the
extreme difficulty of the meter. This
work was first given by the large choral
society of the Church of the Holy
Trinity, New York. It was also per-
formed by the Handel and Haydn
Society at Boston and at the Worcester
music festival in 1898; and it has been
accepted for the music festival in Wor-
cester, England, where it is to be given
in September of the current year. It
is a work of great power and depth,
and one of the few of its kind among
modern choral works which seems des-
tined to hold a place along with the
imperishable oratorios of the past.
