of Columbia University. He has held many important posts and
taken numerous prizes. His cantata The Rock of Liberty was sung at
the Tercentenary Celebration, 1920, of the settlement of Plymouth.
Arne Oldberg, born in Youngstown, Ohio (1874) is director of the
piano department of Northwestern University (Michigan) and has
many orchestral works, written symphonies, concertos and
overtures, which have had frequent hearings. He has also composed
much chamber music.
There are also Harry Rowe Shelley (1858), writer of much
important church music; James H. Rogers, composer of teaching
pieces for the piano and many fine songs, including a cycle In
Memoriam, which is a heartfelt expression of sorrow in beautiful
music; Wilson G. Smith, composer of many piano teaching pieces
and musical writer; Louis Coerne, writer of opera and of works for
orchestra; Ernest Kroeger of St. Louis who also used Indian and
Negro themes in works for orchestra and piano; Carl Busch of
Kansas City, composer of orchestral works, cantatas, music for violin
and many songs, in some of which we see the Indian. In California
we meet Wm. J. McCoy and Humphrey J. Stewart who have
composed church music and have written often for the yearly out-
door “High Jinks” of the San Francisco Bohemian Club, in which
many important composers have been invited to assist; Domenico
Brescia, a South American composer living in San Francisco, who
wrote interesting chamber music played at the Berkshire Chamber
Music Festivals; and Albert Elkus, a composer of serious works for
orchestra and piano. Smith died in 1929; Coerne in 1922.
But this is growing into a musical directory! And even neglecting
many who have done much to make music grow in America, we must
proceed for we have important milestones ahead.
For many years New York has been the American center of music.
Few of the people in musical life are native New Yorkers, but have
come from all parts of the States and Europe to this musical Mecca.

American Impressionist.
Henry Holden Huss (1862), born in Newark, New Jersey, has lived
in New York since his early twenties when he returned from studying
with Rheinberger in Munich. Before his European days he was a
pupil of his father, George J. Huss, a Bavarian who came to America
during the 1848 revolution, and was one of the best musical
educators in this country. Huss also studied with O. B. Boise (1845–
1912), an American theorist and teacher. As concert pianist, Huss has
played his piano concerto, one of the best American works, with all
the important orchestras. Raoul Pugno, the much-loved French
pianist, and Adele aus der Ohe also played it abroad and in America.
Huss has always aimed for the highest ideals as teacher, composer
and pianist. A classicist at heart, his works are written on classic
models,—a beautiful violin sonata with poetic slow movement, many
chamber music works, a concerto for violin and orchestra, besides
The Seven Ages of Man for baritone and orchestra, often sung by the
late David Bispham, Cleopatra’s Death, for soprano and orchestra, a
female chorus Ave Maria, and many fine art songs and piano pieces,
the most beautiful of which is a tone poem To the Night, a lovely
impressionistic composition that ranks with the best that America
has produced.
Two other pupils of O. B. Boise, Ernest Hutcheson (1871) an
Australian, and Howard Brockway (1870), a Brooklynite, have done
much to make music grow in America. Hutcheson, who studied also
with Max Vogrich in Australia and Reinecke in Leipsic, has made so
enviable a career as pianist and teacher, that one forgets he has a
symphony, a double piano concerto and several other large works in
manuscript. Brockway, who harmonized Lonesome Tunes, folk songs
from the Kentucky Mountains collected by Miss Loraine Wyman, is
also the composer of a symphony played in Boston (1907) by the
Symphony Orchestra, a suite, ballad-scherzo for orchestra, many
piano works and songs. Hutcheson, Brockway and Boise were
teachers in the Baltimore Peabody Institute, one of the important
music schools, under direction of Harold Randolph, a fine musician
and pianist.
George F. Boyle (1886) of New South Wales has, since 1910, been
professor at the Peabody Institute. He has composed many piano
pieces, songs and orchestral works.
