Henry George Ganss was born on February 22, 1855, in Darmstadt, Germany, and was only six weeks old when his parents, George and Elizabeth (Ganss) Ganss, emigrated to America.
They settled at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where the father became a butcher.
Educated in the parochial schools, and at St. Vincent College, Latrobe, Pennsylvania, young Ganss graduated in 1876 with the degree of doctor of music.
In 1878, Ganss was ordained to the priesthood of the Roman Catholic Church. For thirty years, he was an obscure parish priest in small churches in central Pennsylvania, yet the force of his character, his scholarship, and his ability as a musician made him an influence felt throughout the church and the musical world.
While stationed at Milton, Pennsylvania (1881 - 90), he not only built a new church but conducted a band which took first honors in a contest of 100 bands at Atlantic City. He was also the director of the Williamsport Oratorio Society.
Transferred to Carlisle in 1890, he found a congregation of fewer than thirty-five families worshiping in a little frame church. He turned all his energies again into a building, with the result that there rose an ideal small church, perfect in all its appointments and equipped with an organ for which Ganss himself had raised funds by his lectures and writings.
At the Easter and Christmas services, he played the organ which he had earned, led the choir and orchestra in the rendition of the mass which he had composed, and came down to the pulpit to preach a scholarly and convincing sermon.
He took an absorbing interest in the cause of the American Indians, whom he had an opportunity to study at the Carlisle Indian School. In the Indian Missions, he labored with zeal and his work was recognized by Cardinal Gibbons, who appointed him a financial agent of the Catholic Indian Missions.
While on a pilgrimage to Rome he secured the permission of Leo XIII to compile a Catholic Hymnology, but failing health and increased absorption in his writing prevented him from carrying out his plans.
His ecclesiastical music, of which there is a considerable library, was composed before the Moto Proprio of Pius IX confined the church to Gregorian plainchant. His work was influenced by the Vienna school of Mozart, Beethoven, and Haydn. It was florid and brilliant but essentially sound.
In 1910, he returned to his early home, Lancaster, as rector of St. Mary’s Church. Here he died on Christmas Day, 1912, in his fifty-eighth year.
Ganss contributed to the American Catholic Quarterly Review, the American Ecclesiastical Review, the Catholic World, the Messenger, the Ave Maria, and the Catholic Encyclopedia, for which he wrote the article on Martin Luther. His better-known work included his prize naval hymn, “The Banner of the Sea, ” commemorating the heroism of the American sailors in the disastrous Samoan hurricane of 1889; a papal hymn, “Long Live the Pope, ” translated into twenty-five languages. His library of 5, 000 volumes contained some eight hundred titles on Luther.

(Excerpt from A City of Confusion: The Case of Dr. Briggs ...)
Since Henry's compositions were readily sung and tuneful they were not only widely adopted in the church but were favorites with choral societies.
As a writer, he was a militant controversialist but at the same time a scholar and a gentleman. All his writing was the result of a careful and exhaustive study.
