Palmer, Horatio Richmond, MUS.
DOC, was born April 26, 1834.
He is the author of several
works on the theory of music;
and the editor of some musical
editions of hymnbooks. To the
latter he contributed numerous
tunes, some of which have
attained to great popularity,
and 5 of which are in I. D.
Sankey's Sacred Songs and
Solos, London, 1881. His
publications include Songs of
Love for the Bible School; and
Book of Anthems, the combined
sale of which has exceeded one
million copies. As a
hymnwriter he is known by his
"Yield not to temptation,"
which was written in 1868, and
published in the National
Sunday School Teachers'
Magazine, from which it
passed, with music by the
author, into his Songs of
Love, &c, 1874, and other
collections. In America its
use is extensive. Dr. Palmer's
degree was conferred by the
University of Chicago in 1880. Text source : Wikipedia (Hide extended text) ... (Read all)
