Timothy Swan

Portrait of Timothy Swan, composer Timothy Swan (1758–1842) was a Yankee tunesmith and hatmaker born in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA. The son of goldsmith William Swan, Swan lived in small towns along the Connecticut River in Connecticut and Massachusetts for most of his life. Swan's compositional output consisted mostly of psalm and hymn settings, referred to as ''psalmody''. These tunes and settings were produced for choirs and singing schools located in Congregationalist communities of New England. Swan is unique as an early American composer in that he composed secular vocal duets and songs in addition to sacred tunebook music. The tunebook, ''New England Harmony'' is a collection of his sacred music compositions, while ''The Songster's Assistant'' is a collection of his secular music. Swan was also a poet and teacher of singing. Provided by Wikipedia
