Fred A. Fillmore

1856 - 1925 Hymnal Number: d8 Author of "Sowing the seed of the kingdom" in Everlasting Praises No. 4 Born: May 15, 1856, Par­is, Ill­i­nois. Died: No­vem­ber 15, 1925, Ter­race Park, Ohio. Buried: Mil­ford, Ohio. Frederick Augustus Fillmore, who was born on May 15, 1856, in Paris, IL, one of seven children, five sons and two daughters, born to Augustus Damon and Hannah Lockwood Fillmore. His father was a preacher in the Christian Church, as well as a composer, songbook compiler, and hymn publisher who developed his own system of musical notation using numbers on the staff in place of note heads. Augustus eventually settled in Cincinnati, OH, and established a music publishing business there. Until 1906, there was no official distinction between "Christian Churches" and "Churches of Christ." The names were used pretty much interchangeably, and many older churches of Christ which are faithful today were once known as "Christian Churches." Fred and his older brother James took over their father's publishing business following the death of Augustus in 1870 and established the Fillmore Brothers Music House. This became a successful Cincinnati music form, publishing church hymnals and later band and orchestral music. For many years the firm issued a monthly periodical, The Music Messenger. The brothers edited many hymnbooks and produced many songs which became popular. Beginning with the songbook Songs of Glory in 1874, there appeared many Fillmore publications which became widely used through churches, especially in the midwest. For these collections, Fred provided a great deal of hymn tunes. --launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/hymnoftheday

Austin Taylor

1881 - 1973 Hymnal Number: d24 Author of "For Christ and the church we voice our love" in Everlasting Praises No. 4 Austin Taylor (October 14, 1881 – January 1, 1973) Austin Taylor was born October 14, 1881 in Morgantown, Kentucky. He served Churches of Christ, one of three branches of the Stone-Campbell Movement for all of his long life as a song writer, song leader, minister, preacher, teacher, and singing school leader. The school he helped to found, the Texas Normal Singing School, still holds its camp every Summer. The Taylors moved to Sherman, TX in 1890. There Austin began his music career as a singing school teacher and song writer. Two of his outstanding teachers were Horatio Richmond Palmer (1834-1907) of New York, who wrote songs such as “Master the Tempest is Raging,” “Angry Words,” and “O Lord, Our Lord,” and Dr. Horace Neely Lincoln (1859-1948) of St. Louis who specialized in lyrics. His first song book, “The Gospel Messenger,” was published in 1905. He has published some twenty-five song books, just for [the] Firm Foundation in Austin, TX. His songs can be found in some fifty plus songbooks. Practically all the song books published by members of the church contain “Closer to Thee” and “Do All In the Name of the Lord.” In the early part of the 1900’s churches received their musical instruction by singing conventions. Taylor continued teaching of singing conventions and influenced many students to follow. Some of his students began the Hartford Music Company in Nacogdoches, TX. Albert Brumley became a student of the Hartford school and later bought out the company. Austin Taylor paid the way for Will Slater to go with him to some of his schools. Slater later became a publisher and had his business in Fort Worth, TX. Frank Grammer, another student of Austin Taylor’s, founded a publishing company in California. Teaching conventions and singing for gospel meetings and revivals was a full-time career for Taylor. Austin Taylor had created a good reputation for himself on the circuit of the singing conventions, so he started receiving many invitations to lead singing for gospel meetings. For many years this became one of his main works. In 1911 Austin Taylor was appointed as music editor of the Firm Foundation Publishing Co. operated by G. H. P. Showalter. The majority of his song books were sold between 1910 and 1930. They were printed in Cincinnati. In 1914 he published Gospel Songs No. 2 for the Firm Foundation. It sold over 500,000 in one year. There were nearly one million of the paperback copies sold in a 15-year period. Taylor published over 50 different hymn books in his lifetime, many at his own expense. Edited by D. J.
