A Record of Instruction at the Organ Bench

Organists' Lineage Traced from England to the New World

Teachers of the Cathedral and Church Organists of the United States and Canada Set Down, 1880–1925, with the Masters of Berlin, Munich and Paris

150 Musicians192 Teacher-and-Pupil ConnexionsEach One Sourced

The organ lofts of New York, Boston, Chicago, Toronto and Montreal have been filled in these 45 years by players who learned their art from a fairly small company of masters. Some of those masters played at Windsor, at Westminster Abbey and at St Paul's. Others taught at the Royal Institute for Church Music in Berlin, at the Royal Academy at Munich, and at the organ classes of M. Guilmant and M. Widor in Paris.

The present record sets down 192 instances of one musician teaching another, among 150 persons. Of these, 30 lead directly from English teachers to pupils who worked on this side of the Atlantic, and 54 lead from the Continent. A further 94 were made at home, where the pupils of the first travellers became teachers in their turn at Harvard, Yale, the New England Conservatory, Northwestern, the Guilmant Organ School and the Toronto Conservatory.

No name is admitted on the strength of influence or admiration alone. Every connexion is drawn from a printed authority: chiefly Baker's Dictionary of 1919 and the International Who's Who in Music of 1918, or from a later reference work where those are silent. Each is marked Documented (186), Probable (4) or Reported (2). Where an authority gives no date, none has been supplied.

Gaps and Uncertain Links

Teachers not found for several men on the 1880–1925 cathedral list: George Edward Stubbs, Miles Farrow, Everett Titcomb, Leo Kofler, Gottfried Federlein, William J. Finn, Evan Stephens, Channing Lefebvre, Arthur S. Hyde, Raymond Nold, Ernest Mitchell and Frederick Johnson. Anthony C. Lund studied at Leipzig, but no source names his teachers.
Teachers unnamed: Arthur Henry Messiter (no teacher recorded); Humphrey John Stewart ("private teachers in London"); Walter Henry Hall (Royal Academy of Music, 1877–81); Clement R. Gale (Oxford); Edgar Priest (Royal Manchester College of Music).
John Henry Gower and George Elvey (Probable): Gower was assistant organist at Windsor from the age of 12, while Elvey was organist, but no source names Elvey as his teacher.
Leo Sowerby and Eric DeLamarter (Probable): Baker 1919 names DeLamarter as his organ teacher, but Wikipedia calls Sowerby largely self-taught at the organ.
Leopold Stokowski: assistant to Walford Davies at the Temple Church (Probable). Stanford is suggested only by a Wikipedia category (Reported).
Charles Ives and Dudley Buck (Reported): named in Buck's Wikipedia article only. A link between Ives and Harry Rowe Shelley is sometimes claimed but could not be supported, so it is left out.
Hugh Porter and T. Tertius Noble (Probable): Noble is named among Porter's teachers, with no date, so the lessons may fall after 1925.
Outside the window: Ernest White (with Farnam from 1926), Carl Weinrich, Frederick Silvester (Toronto from 1929) and Paul Creston were omitted or noted only.
Name variant: "Weston Spies Gale" of Emmanuel Church, Boston, on the cathedral list appears in Baker 1919 as "Gales, Weston" (b. 1877). He is entered here as Weston Gales.
