DOWN IN THE SUNLESS RETREATS.
This is one of Moore's " Sacred Melodies." The music to which it is here set is the composition of Oliyer Shaw, bora in 1778. He was a teacher of music, and followed that profession in Providence, K. I., where he died, December 31, 1848. His sacred compositions include "Mary's Tears," "Nothing true but Heaven," "Arrayed in Clouds," and " Home of my Soul." A friend writes of him: " He was a man of placid disposition, unobtrusive-manners and truly Christian character, and was warmly devoted to his divine art." |
