20BOWMAN, EDWARD MORRIS (July 18, 1848, Barnard, Vt. : Aug. 27, 1913, Brooklyn), was a graduate of St. Lawrence University, Canton, N. Y. He came to New York in 1866 for a year's study with William Mason (piano) and J. P. Morgan (organ and theory). In 1867 he went to St. Louis, where for three years he was organist at the Union Methodist Church and for two at the Second Presbyterian Church. In 1872-74 he was in Berlin under Bendel in piano, Haupt and Rohde in organ and Weitzmann in composition, twice going to Paris in summer for organ-lessons with Batiste. Returning to St. Louis, he resumed his place at the Second Presbyterian Church, taught piano and organ, and in 1877 published an English version of Weitzmann's Manual of Musical Theory, which was based on his own notes of Weitzmann's teaching (from this a German version was made). For a time in 1881 he was with Guilmant in Paris and also worked in London with Macfarren, J. F. Bridge and Turpin. He was the first American to become an associate of the Royal College of Organists. Save for this year abroad he was organist at the Second Baptist Church in St. Louis from 1877 to 1887. In 1883 he was president of the M. T. N. A. (also in '84, '93, '94 and 1905). In 1884 he was the organizer and till 1893 president of the American College of Musicians, which did much to raise standards of teaching. In 1887-94 he was organist at the Peddie Memorial Baptist Church in Newark, in 1895-1906 at the Baptist Temple in Brooklyn (with a noted choir of 200) and from 1906 at Calvary Baptist Church in New York (also with large choir and orchestra). While at Newark (1891-95) he also served as music-professor at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, following Ritter. In 1896 he was a founder of the A. G. O. He was not only a superior organist, but had marked ability as a teacher. His forceful personality impressed itself upon music-education in many ways. [R.5]

23BOYLE, GEORGE FREDERICK (June 29, 1886, Sydney, Australia), was the son of music-teachers, began piano-lessons at five and made his first public appearance in Sydney at seven. He undertook concert-tours as pianist at fourteen, continuing thus in Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand for five years. He then went to Berlin and studied for a time with Busoni. His first recital-program in Berlin (March, 1908) included MacDowell's 'Keltic' Sonata (first time there). He concertized in Holland from October, 1906, and in London from June, 1908, being associated in Holland with Emma Nevada and in Great Britain with Pauline Donalda and Maud Allan. In 1908 he played at the reception to the King and Queen of Spain, and in 1910 appeared with the Queen's Hall Orchestra under Wood. In 1910 he came to America as teacher of piano at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore. While thus busy with teaching he has found opportunity to give recitals not only in Baltimore, but in New York, Boston and other cities. He has made several tours in the South. His compositions include

36BOYLSTON CLUB, THE, of Boston, was organized in 1873 as a choral society of about 200 voices. In 1875-93 it was led by George L. Osgood and speedily achieved a fine reputation for artistic efficiency in interpreting secular works. After 1890 it was known as the Boston Singers' Society.
