Music Notes:


George James Webb (1803-1887) born in Wiltshire (near Salisbury)
England; was organist in Falmouth then emigrated (1830) to Boston.
Organist of Old South Church (almost 40 years), and Boston Church of
the New Jerusalem. From 1832 onward he collaborated with Lowell Mason
(1792-1872) in a number of enterprises: founded the Boston Academy
of Music; prepared the first edition of "The Boston Academy Collection";
published at least ten sacred and secular collections.
Independently published "Scripture Worship (1834)" and tune books and
pedagogical texts; president of the Boston Handel and Haydn Society
which published "The Massachusetts Collection of Psalmody (1840)"
to which he contributed 99 tunes. Spent his last years in Orange NJ.
Despite his prolific output, only a tune originally in his secular
collection "The Odeon (1837)" as "This Dawn, the Lark is Singing"
appears in some present-day hymnals (WEBB) with words
"Stand up, stand up for Jesus".
