ATHLONE (Quaile)

Composer: Robert Newton Quaile

Son of a Me­tho­dist pas­tor, Quaile was ed­u­cat­ed at Wes­ley Col­lege in Dub­lin. He went in­to bu­si­ness in Mal­low and pur­sued mu­sic as a hob­by. Three of his tunes ap­peared in the 1910 Eng­lish Me­tho­dist Sun­day School Hym­nal. Ten years lat­er, he lost all his pos­sess­ions in the 1920 Ir­ish up­ris­ing. —The Cyber Hymnal™ Go to person page >
