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.

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.

John Comfort Fillmore was born on a farm near Franklin, New London County, Connecticut, the son of John L. and Mary Ann (Palmer) Fillmore.
Though there is no record of his early training, it is certain that he entered Oberlin from New Lyme, Ohio, in 1862 and was graduated in 1865.
There was as yet no music department at Oberlin College, but music instruction was provided for those desiring it, and Fillmore studied organ, and probably piano, under George W. Steele.
He had evidently decided upon a musical career during his college course, for after his graduation he went to Leipzig where he studied under Moritz Hauptmann, Ernst Richter, and Benjamin Papperitz, who were eminent theorists as well as fine organists.
During 1867-68 he was instructor in instrumental music at Oberlin. In 1868 he became professor of music at Ripon College, Wisconsin, remaining until 1878, when he accepted a similar position in the Milwaukee College for Women. In 1884 he founded the Milwaukee Music School and was its director until 1895 when he accepted a call to Pomona College, Claremont, California.
As an authority on Indian music he was closely associated with Alice Fletcher and Francis La Flesche and collaborated with them in writing A Study of Omaha Indian Music (1893) and several magazine articles.
