2Mollenhauer (môl'-lên-how-ër), Edward R. 1827-
3Violinist; the youngest of three brothers; born at Erfurt, Saxony. He received his first instruction under his brother Frederic, then studied under Ernst and Spohr. After playing in Germany and under the patronage of Archduchess of Dessau in St. Petersburg, he was ordered back to Germany to do military service, but fled to England, joining Jullien's Orchestra as solo violinist, and coming to America with that orchestra in 1853. He founded a school for violin-playing in New York. He was one of the first teachers in America to use the Conservatory system of teaching. Among his compositions are an opera, The Corsican Bride; two comic operas, Breakers, and the Masque Ball; violin-pieces; string quartet; some songs; a Passion symphony, and two other symphonies.
5Mollenhauer, Emil. 1855-
6One of the most talented of American choral conductors; born at Brooklyn, New York. He received his general education in the public schools of Brooklyn and at Russell's Academy, New York. When only nine years old he played violin in Niblo's Garden, and when fourteen he played in the orchestra of Booth's Theatre. At the age of sixteen he was one of the first violinists in the Thomas Orchestra. He was a member of the Damrosch Orchestra and of various musical societies of New York and Brooklyn until 1884, when he moved to Boston. Here he was a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra from 1884 to 1888, then he conducted the Germania Orchestra and the Municipal concerts until 1903. His greatest work has been done in connection with the Handel and Haydn Society, of which he became conductor in 1899 and which he has wholly reorganized, dismissing old members unfit for work and filling their places by new. Besides his work with this society he has been connected with clubs at Lynn, Brockton, Salem and Newburyport, and with the Boston Apollo Club and Festival Orchestra.

12He was born in Burg, then under the government of the Bishop of Magdeburg. His teacher was Hermann Noricus, but most of his musical knowledge was gained through careful study of the works of Orlando di Lasso, whom he greatly admired and tried to imitate. In 1566 he became cantor of the Church of St. Blasius at Mühlhausen, where he remained until his death, and where he was succeeded by many famous musicians, among them John Sebastian Bach. He was also Symphonista of Mühlhausen and Alderman of the City Council, which in 1626 published at the expense of the city all the odes and hymns of Helmbold edited by him in a collection of six volumes. Schöberlein's Schatz contains many of his hymn arrangements, partly in motet and partly in choral form. Some of his compositions are Die Deutsche Passion, dedicated to the Lutheran Cathedral Chapter at Magdeburg; several books of Odæ Sacrae of Helmbold; Harmoniæ sacræ tan viva voce quam instrumentis; Sacro Cantiones; Passio Jesu Christi; twenty Deutsche Liedlein; Crepundia Sacra, a collection of school songs; thirty Geistlische Lieder; Symbolum Apostolicum Nicæum; Te Deum laudamus, and many other church compositions.
