3BRETHERRICK, HENRY (b. 1849). See Register, 6.
5BREWER, JOHN HYATT (Jan. 18, 1856, Brooklyn), for seven years from 1864 was boysoprano in various Brooklyn and New York churches, meanwhile taking lessons on the piano and the organ. From 1871 he was organist for two years at the City Park Chapel in Brooklyn, for four at the Church of the Messiah (P. E.), for four at the Clinton Avenue Church (Congregational), and finally, since 1881, at the Lafayette Avenue Church (Presbyterian). Besides general teaching and some recital-work, he has been active as conductor, having been leader of the Cecilia Society, the Flatbush Glee Club, the Hoadley Amateur Orchestra, and especially the Apollo Club (all in Brooklyn). He was one of the original members of the Apollo Club in 1877 and during the twenty-five years of Buck's leadership its only accompanist. When Buck retired in 1903 he became his successor, continuing ever since. He was a charter-member of the music-section of the Brooklyn Institute, its secretary from the first and since 1906 one of its fellows. He was a founder of the A. G. O., fellow since 1902 and in 1905–08 warden. In 1914 he was made Mus.D. by New York University. In his youth he was for ten years (1878–88) a pupil of Buck in composition. The influence of his teacher may doubtless be seen in the following list of works:
7String-Quartet in D minor.
8Suite in G minor, for orchestra — Prelude, Barcarolle, Intermezzo, Peasants' Dance and Finale (1891).
9'April Winds,' a fantasie for orchestra.
10'Valse Caprice' and 'Romanza,' for string-quintet and flute.
11'A Springtime Sketch,' a scherzo for string-quartet.
12'An April Song,' a cantilena for string-quartet.
13'Reverie,' for organ, harp, 'cello and violin (Gray).
14'Forest Song' and 'Dance of the Gnomes,' sketches for 'cello and piano.
15'The Lady of the Lake,' for organ, piano and 'cello (1891, Mason & Hamlin prize).
16'Up with the Flag!' (1894, Brooklyn City prize).
17'Lord of the Dunderberg,' cantata for men's voices and orchestra (1905, Schubert Glee Club prize).
18'Bedouin Love-Song,' a cappella chorus for mixed voices (Chicago Madrigal Club prize, 1906).
20The total number of his compositions is about 200. [R.6]
22'BRIDE OF MESSINA, THE.' An opera by J. H. Bonawitz, brought out at Philadelphia in 1874.
24†BRIDGE, FRANK (Feb. 26, 1879, Brighton, England). See article in Vol. v. 619. In 1910–11 he conducted the Brema opera-season at the Savoy Theatre and in 1913 the Beecham season at Covent Garden. Additional works are a 'Dance-Rhapsody' for orchestra (1909, Liverpool Festival), the orchestral suite 'The Sea' (1912), a 'Dance Poem' for orchestra (1914, Philharmonic) and notable extensions of his chamber-music list.

30BRISTOW, GEORGE FREDERICK (Dec. 19, 1825, Brooklyn : Dec. 13, 1898, New York), at eleven was playing the violin at the Olympic Theatre in New York. From 1842 for over thirty years he was a first violinist in the New York Philharmonic Society. He was conductor of the Harmonic Society in 1851–62, a church-organist and from 1854 until his death a visiting-teacher in the New York public schools. W. J. Henderson has described him as 'a most earnest man, filled with a real love for his art, and self-sacrificing in labor for its benefit' and as 'one of the earliest of the long-suffering band of American composers, who will be remembered always as one who strove to push American music into artistic prominence.' His chief work was the opera 'Rip Van Winkle,' performed in New York on Sept. 27, 1850, and again in 1870. An overture was played by the Philharmonic Society on Jan. 9, 1847, his second symphony on Mar. 1, 1856, his third symphony on Mar. 26, 1859, and his 'Arcadian' symphony on Feb. 14, 1874. He also wrote two oratorios, 'Praise to God' (1860) and 'Daniel' (1867); two cantatas, 'The Great Republic' (1880) and 'Niagara'; an unfinished opera, 'Columbus'; two symphonies besides those noted above; two string-quartets; and many smaller works.

36BROCKWAY, HOWARD A. (Nov. 22, 1870, Brooklyn), after beginning the piano with Korthauer, from 1890 spent five years at Berlin with Barth (piano) and Boise (composition). In February, 1895, he gave a concert there which included, besides piano-solos, his Symphony in D and his violin-sonata, making the impression of unusual maturity. From 1895 he worked in New York as pianist and teacher and in 1903–10 was in the faculty of the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, then returning to New York. In 1910 he was the judge of the Earl Grey Competition at Toronto. Later he joined Lorraine Wyman in collecting the folk-songs of the Kentucky highlands, published as Lonesome Tunes, 1916 (Gray). His works include the following:
38Symphony in D, op. 12 (1895), given by Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1907.
39Ballade in G minor, op. 11, for orchestra (1895).
40Scherzino for orchestra.
