Isaac B. Woodbury was born on October 23, 1819, in Beverly, Massachussets, the son of Isaac Woodberry and his wife, Nancy Baker.
As a youth he was apprenticed to a blacksmith and spent his spare time in music study. At the age of thirteen he went to Boston, where he continued his studies in music and learned to play the violin. Six years later he went abroad for study in London and Paris.
He returned in 1839 to Boston, where he taught music for six years. Later he joined the Bay State Glee Club, an organization which gave concerts in various parts of New England. On reaching Bellows Falls, Vermont, he was persuaded to live there for a time to organize and conduct the New Hampshire and Vermont Musical Association. He went to New York, where for a few years prior to 1851 he directed the music at the Rutgers Street Church. He also became editor of the American Monthly Musical Review. Ill health made it necessary for him to leave New York in 1851, and he again went to Europe. While abroad he purchased new music by foreign composers for the Review and for the music books he compiled and edited.
It was principally as an editor that Woodbury was important, although many of his original compositions were published. One of his early songs, "He Doeth All Things Well, or My Sister, " was published in Boston in 1844. A song that had considerable vogue for a number of years was "The Indian's Lament" (1846). Among the music books he compiled and edited were the Boston Musical Education Society's Collections (1842) and the Choral (1845), both in collaboration with Benjamin F. Baker; the Dulcimer (1850); the Lute of Zion (1853); and the Cythara (1854). These works proved highly popular, and on one occasion the publishers advertised that Dulcimer, a "live music book, " had sold "125, 000 Copies in Two Seasons" (Dwight's Journal of Music, January 22, 1853). For use in the South, Woodbury compiled the Casket (1855), published by the Southern Baptist Society, as well as the Harp of the South (1853). He also wrote several educational treatises, principally the Self-Instructor in Musical Composition and Thorough Bass, with a Translation of Schneider's.
Upon his return to the United States he determined to spend his winters in the South for the sake of his health. He started from New York in the fall of 1858. On reaching Charleston, South Carolina, he fell ill and, three days after his arrival, died on October 26, 1858, in Columbia, South Carolina.
