This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Charles Crozat Converse was born on October 07, 1832 at Warren, Massachusetts, United States. He was the son of Maxey Manning and Anne (Guthrie) Converse.
Converse attended the academy at Elmira, New York. Then he studied theory and composition with Richter, Hauptmann, and Plaidy, at Leipzig, where he stayed from 1855 to 1859. Returning to America, he entered the Albany Law School, graduating in 1861, with the degree of Bachelor of Laws. He received a doctor’s degree from Rutherford College in 1895.
From 1875 on Converse practised law at Erie, Pennsylvania. He was also a partner in an organ manufacturing concern. In composition, Converse began with a set of six German songs, composed abroad, which included the elegiac “Täuschung” and the expressive “Ruhe in der Geliebten. ” More ambitious was his “American Concert Overture, ” which treated the tune of “Hail, Columbia” with a full orchestral setting and development. This was performed at peace jubilees and expositions, as well as at various concerts, but did not become a permanent classic because of the somewhat simple conventionality of the song.
A “Festouvertiire” won some success in 1870. His American national hymn, “God for us, ” was written in rather obvious contrary motion to “God Save the King. ” A cantata setting of the 126th Psalm, given by Thomas in 1888 at a teachers’ convention, won much notice. It is closed with a five-voiced double fugue, of such excellence that Sterndale Bennett, impressed by its mastery, persuaded Cambridge University to offer the composer the degree of the Doctor of Music, which, however, Converse did not accept.
His other cantatas, such as Spring Holiday, were less ambitious in style. Many of his works remained in manuscript including two symphonies, the oratorio The Captivity, several suites, some overtures, three symphonic poems, and a number of string quartets. Of these, the overtures “Im Fruhling” and “Christmas” received concert performances.
Converse wrote many hymns, and made several compilations. Among his songs, such examples as “The Death of Minnehaha” and “The Virgin’s Cradle Song” show expressive intensity, but such lyrics as “We miss thee at home, ” and “My poor lost Geraldine, ” are frankly popular in style.
Converse published also a successful guitar method. He wrote many articles on various subjects, sometimes using the pen name Karl Redan, or anagrams such as C. O. Nevers or C. E. Revons. Among these were “A Symposium on Church Music: How can the New Music profit most from the Old?” in the Homiletic Review (April 1899); “Music’s Mother-tone and Tonal Onomatopy”; “The Verse of the Future”; “Reminiscences of Some Famous Musicians”; and an attempt to introduce a new pronoun, “thon, ” condensed from “that one, ” to take the place of “he or she” and “him or her”. The idea was good, even though the article caused no linguistic change. The composer’s last years were spent at Highwood, New Jersey, where he died.
