ST. FLAVIAN
I Cannot Think of Them as Dead
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840-1929 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #96 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6.6 Lyrics: 1 I cannot think of them as dead
who walk with me no more;
along the path of life I tread
they are but gone before,
they are but gone before.
2 And still their silent ministry
within my heart has place
as when on earth they walked with me
and met me face to face,
and met me face to face.
3 Their lives are made forever mine;
what they to me have been
has left henceforth its seal and sign
engraven deep within,
engraven deep within.
4 Mine are they by an ownership
nor time nor death can free;
for God has given to love to keep
its own eternally,
its own eternally. Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder Transience; Change; Death and Life; The Living Tradition; Memorials and Funerals; Ministry Languages: English Tune Title: DISTANT BELOVED

John Bacchus Dykes
1823 - 1876 Person Name: Rev. John Bacchus Dykes, Mus. D. (1823-1876) Composer of "ST. AGNES" in Hymnal Amore Dei As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern.

William Gardiner
1770 - 1853 Person Name: Wm. Gardiner Composer of "BERNARD" in Song-Hymnal of Praise and Joy William Gardiner (b. Leicester, England, 1770; d. Leicester, 1853) The son of an English hosiery manufacturer, Gardiner took up his father's trade in addition to writing about music, composing, and editing. Having met Joseph Haydn and Ludwig van Beethoven on his business travels, Gardiner then proceeded to help popularize their compositions, especially Beethoven's, in England. He recorded his memories of various musicians in Music and Friends (3 volumes, 1838-1853). In the first two volumes of Sacred Melodies (1812, 1815), Gardiner turned melodies from composers such as Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven into hymn tunes in an attempt to rejuvenate the singing of psalms. His work became an important model for American editors like Lowell Mason (see Mason's Boston Handel and Haydn Collection, 1822), and later hymnbook editors often turned to Gardiner as a source of tunes derived from classical music.

Joseph Barnby
1838 - 1896 Person Name: Sir Joseph Barnby Composer of "CONISTON" in Jubilate Deo Joseph Barnby (b. York, England, 1838; d. London, England, 1896) An accomplished and popular choral director in England, Barnby showed his musical genius early: he was an organist and choirmaster at the age of twelve. He became organist at St. Andrews, Wells Street, London, where he developed an outstanding choral program (at times nicknamed "the Sunday Opera"). Barnby introduced annual performances of J. S. Bach's St. John Passion in St. Anne's, Soho, and directed the first performance in an English church of the St. Matthew Passion. He was also active in regional music festivals, conducted the Royal Choral Society, and composed and edited music (mainly for Novello and Company). In 1892 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. His compositions include many anthems and service music for the Anglican liturgy, as well as 246 hymn tunes (published posthumously in 1897). He edited four hymnals, including The Hymnary (1872) and The Congregational Sunday School Hymnal (1891), and coedited The Cathedral Psalter (1873).
