11ANDREWS, GEORGE WHITFIELD (Jan. 19, 1861, Wayne, O.), has been associated with Oberlin, O., for almost his entire life. He began the study of piano there at six, organ at nine (with F. B. Rice) and at twelve made his first public appearance, playing a Bach Prelude and Fugue. For a time before 1879 he was organist of the First Church of Oberlin, and then played and taught two years at Meadville, Pa., and one year at Toledo. In 1882 he became organist of the Second Church in Oberlin, a position he still holds. Since 1882, also, he has been connected with the Musical Union, first as organist and since 1900 as conductor. In 1886 he began teaching at the Conservatory, and since 1892 has been professor of organ, composition and orchestration. He graduated from the Conservatory in 1879 in organ, piano, violin and theory, and studied in Leipzig with Papperitz (organ) and Jadassohn (theory, composition and piano), in Munich with Rheinberger (organ, composition and orchestration, 1885–6), and in Paris with Guilmant (organ and composition) and d’Indy (composition and orchestration, 1898–99). He was made Mus.D. by Oberlin College in 1903. His interest has centered in the duties connected with his work as teacher and conductor, and he has been highly successful in both fields, besides appearing as organ-recitalist in all parts of the country, including the great Expositions. He was a founder of the A. G. O. and is now dean of the Northern Ohio Chapter. His published organ-compositions are a March in C Minor and ‘Poco Agitato’ (Schirmer), Serenade No. 1 and ‘Aria’ (Ashmall), Serenade No. 2 and ‘Con Grazia’ (J. Fischer & Bro.), and Fugue in A minor (Leduc, Paris). The Church Co. publishes three sacred songs for baritone. Still in manuscript are a Suite in C for orchestra (played at Oberlin by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra), six organ-sonatas, four suites for organ, a Theme and Variations, many separate pieces for organ, a piano-trio, ‘Morning’ for piano, a Magnificat for soprano and piano, and a Processional and Recessional for chorus.

13ANDREWS, J. WARREN (Apr. 6, 1860, Lynn, Mass.), was organist at Swampscott, Mass., when but twelve. At sixteen he went to the First Baptist Church of Lynn, Mass., and also played at the Boston Street Methodist Church. In 1879 he was engaged by Old Trinity Church at Newport, R. I., where he remained nine years. Then followed a three-year sojourn at the Pilgrim Church in Cambridge and seven years at the Plymouth Church in Minneapolis. In 1898 he removed to the Church of the Divine Paternity in New York, where he still remains. He was a founder of the A. G. O., its warden in 1913–16 and a member of the council for many years. He has also held official positions in the N. A. O. In 1895 he established a school for organists and singers in Minneapolis, and has continued as teacher in New York. Many well-known church-musicians have been among his pupils. His published works are few, but he has organ-pieces, anthems, Te Deums and Canticles that may sometime be published. [R.6]
15ANGER, JOSEPH HUMPHREY (June 3, 1862, Berkshire, England : June 11, 1913, Toronto), had his first appointment as organist at Frenchay, near Bristol, and while there (1888) he won the gold medal offered by the Bath Philharmonic Society for a setting of Psalm 96 for voices and orchestra. Later he matriculated at Oxford, proceeding as Mus.B. in 1889. He became assistant-master of Surrey County School, Cranleigh, and then organist at Ludlow. In 1893 he was appointed professor of harmony and theory at the Toronto Conservatory, a position he retained until his death. He was also examiner in music at the University of Toronto, president of the Clef Club, conductor of the Philharmonic Society, dean of the Ontario chapter of the A. G. O., and organist at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and later at the Central Methodist Church. He received the degree of Mus.D. from the University in 1902 in appreciation of his services toward the advancement of musical education in Canada, particularly in Toronto. He was the author of a text-book on harmony, Form in Music, and a pamphlet on The Modern Enharmonic Scale, 1907, which have had wide use. His madrigal ‘Bonnie Belle’ won the London Madrigal Society’s prize in 1890. [R.8]
