James Cutler Dunn Parker was born on June 2, 1828 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, United States. He was a son of Samuel Hale Parker and Sarah Parker of Boston and a nephew of Richard Green Parker. His grandfather was successively rector of Trinity Church and bishop of Massachusetts. His father was long senior warden of Trinity.
James Cutler Dunn Parker attended the Boston Latin School and Harvard College. Graduated in 1848, he studied law for three years.
James Cutler Dunn Parker went to Leipzig, Germany, in 1851 to pursue academic musical studies with Plaidy, Hauptmann, Richter, and Moscheles. His organ teacher was Johann Gottlob Schneider, II, whose virtuosity on a stiff old organ, at which "one had almost to sit on the keys, " greatly impressed him. In September 1854 Parker returned to Boston for a life-time of playing, composing, and teaching for which his thorough professional training and social standing admirably fitted him. He was always the gentleman, courteous, unassuming, scholarly. In 1864 he was chosen organist of Trinity Church. He held this position at the old edifice, destroyed by fire in 1872, and for many years at the new church in Copley Square under its celebrated rector, Phillips Brooks, at whose funeral he played. His church programs were conservative, as were his own compositions. The latter began with occasional hymns and anthems.
In 1890 for the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Handel and Haydn Society Parker wrote a cantata, "St. John. " His oratorio, The Life of Man (1894) was first sung at the Easter concert of this society in 1895. "The Blind King, " his only secular composition of importance, was written for the Apollo Club of Boston. These works were untouched by modernism. Parker's reputation as a teacher brought him many private pupils, several of whom formed in 1862 the Parker Club, devoted to giving choral and instrumental concerts.
Parker's reputation as a teacher brought him many private pupils, several of whom formed in 1862 the Parker Club, devoted to giving choral and instrumental concerts. Early invited by Dr. Eben Tourjée to teach at the New England Conservatory of Music, Parker was a member of its faculty for thirty-seven years, teaching pianoforte and theory. He gave a notable performance at the school's thousandth concert, May 17, 1882. In his later years at the Conservatory he held the position of examiner, listening with patience to the performances of thousands of pupils whom he regarded with impartiality and discernment. Resolutions of the New England Conservatory faculty, adopted shortly after his death and signed by Louis C. Elson, Wallace Goodrich, and E. Charlton Black, stressed his honorable share in creating a professional and public regard for the great masters of music. James Cutler Dunn Parker died at his home in Brookline on November 27, 1916.
