TAMBOURINES AND ORANGES
Thomas Scott's "Must Jesus Bear the Cross
Alone?"
"Dedham" was composed in England by William
Gardiner. "Boylston",is a Boston tune by Lowell
Mason. "Silver Street" is an old chorale form
credited to Isaac Smith, of London. "Greenville,"
one of the most familiar and homelike of tunes
in the hymn book, was composed by Jean Jacques
Rousseau, not obscure save in his role of music
maker, wherein his good work was outshone by
his wider fame. Many of the good hymn tunes,
of course, were written by men of recognized mu-
sical attainment. "Antioch," for example, to which
"Joy to the World, the Lord Is Come," is sung,
is an adaption from Handel's "Messiah."

Now Almost
Frequent study has been made of the writers of
famous hymns, but less heed has been given to the
makers of the tunes which have often been the
means of carrying the words into universal use. A
tune is easier to learn by ear than words are, and
thus a singer may have recourse to a book for
words without heeding the score for the melody.
But after all, our associations with hymns are
quite as apt to be with the music as with the
words; and the writers of our best hymn tunes
are often eminent composers.

Among the obscurer composers of hymn tunes
that have lasted long the Christian Work mentions
Isaac Baker Woodbury, of Beverly, Mass., who
began his career as a blacksmith's apprentice. His
interest in churchgoing brought him at last to an
interest in music, and he even studied in Europe
and was an associate of the better known musicians
of the day. His time called "Siloam," sung to
Heber's "By Cool Siloam's Shady Rill," is known
to most churchgoers.
Silas Jones Vail, for a time a hatter in New
York, composed the music for Faber's beautiful
