John Bacchus Dykes
1823 - 1876 Person Name: Rev. J. B. Dykes, Mus. Doc. Composer of "ST. SYLVESTER" in Christian Science Hymnal 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.

Arthur Henry Brown
1830 - 1926 Person Name: Arthur H. Brown Composer of "ST. MABYN" in Christian Science Hymnal (Rev. and enl.) Born: July 24, 1830, Brentwood, Essex, England.
Died: February 15, 1926, Brentwood, Essex, England.
Almost completely self taught, Brown began playing the organ at the age 10. He was organist of the Brentwood Parish Church, Essex (1842-53); St. Edward’s, Romford (1853-58); Brentwood Parish Church (1858-88); St. Peter’s Church, South Weald (from 1889); and Sir Anthony Browne’s School (to 1926). A member of the London Gregorian Association, he helped assemble the Service Book for the annual festival in St. Paul’s Cathedral. He supported the Oxford Movement, and pioneered the restoration of plainchant and Gregorian music in Anglican worship.
Brown edited various publications, including the Altar Hymnal. His other works include settings of the Canticles and the Holy Communion Service, a Children’s Festival Service, anthems, songs, part songs, and over 800 hymn tunes and carols.

R. C. Waterston
1812 - 1893 Author of "Theories, which thousands cherish" in Christian Science Hymnal Waterston, Robert Cassie, M.A., son of Robert Waterston, was born at Kennebunk, in 1812, but has resided from his infancy at Boston, Massachusetts. He studied Theology at Cambridge; had for five years the charge of a Sunday school for the children of seamen; was associated for several years with the Pitts Street Unitarian Chapel, Boston; and then pastor for seven years of the Unitarian Church of the Saviour in the same city. Much of his time has been given to literature, and a long list of his papers of various kinds is given in Putnam's Singers and Songs of the Liberal Faith, 1874. He also interested himself largely in educational matters. He contributed one hymn to the American Unitarian Cheshire Pastoral Association Christian Hymns, 1844; to his own popular Supplement to Greenwood's Psalms and Hymns, 1845, and others to various works. Putnam gives 20 poetical pieces in his Singers and Songs, &c, 1874, amongst which are the following, which are in common use at the present time:—
1. In darkest hours I hear a voice. Looking unto Jesus. Contributed to Putnam's Singers and Songs, &c, 1874, and found in a few collections.
2. In each breeze that wanders free. Nature and the Soul. Published before 1853, and again in Putnam, 1874. The hymn "Nature, with eternal youth," in Hedge and Huntington's Hymns for the Church of Christ, 1853, No. 185, is composed of stanza iv-vii. of this piece.
3. One sweet [bright] flower has drooped and faded. Death of a Child. Appeared in the American Unitarian Cheshire Pastoral Association Christian Hymns, 1844, No. 668, and again in Putnam, 1874, as “One bright flower, &c." It is in several collections. In the Christian Hymns the heading is "Death of a Pupil;" and Putnam, "On the Death of a Child. Sung by her classmates."
In Putnam there are other pieces by him which are worthy of attention. [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.]
