		Horatio Parker (September 15, 1863â“December 18, 1919) was an American composer and teacher.
		While Parker is mostly remembered for a single work, the oratorio Hora novissima, based on the poem by Bernard of Cluny, he was a prolific and versatile composer in a mostly conservative Germanic tradition, writing two operas, songs, organ music, incidental music, and a copious quantity of music for chorus and orchestra.
		In 1892, Parker composed the hymn tune "Auburndale" in celebration of the laying of the cornerstone of the new church building of the Episcopalian parish he was baptised in, Parish of the Messiah.

	Horatio Parker, Deems Taylor, Roy Harris
		Parker undisputably had a tendency toward hard and angular writing, and an-other toward its complement, the florid and rhetorical; and for some strange and doubtless Puritanic reason, succumbed to one or the other most frequently in handling the solo voice.
		Parker was an organist, and his affection for the fl ecclesiastical instrument at times got between him and the orchestra.
		Parker's roots seem to have been half in the Protestant hymnology and half in the classic European music, just as Glinka's were half in Russian folksong and half in eighteenth-century opera.

	American Composers - NPRN Composer of the Month
		It is the fate of Horatio Parker to be remembered primarily as the uncomprehending teacher of Charles Ives at Yale University in the late 1890s.
		Parker's background makes it possible to understand why he would not have understood Ives-Parker was a church musician who was born near Boston, spent three years studying in Munich, then returned to the New York area where he made his name with the oratorio Hora novissima.
		It has been remarked that although Parker attempted different styles throughout his life, his music invariably sounds like a watered-down derivation of the styles and composers on whom they are modeled, and as a result his music has rarely been revived.

	GMCD 7182 - Widor Jongen and Parker
		Rheinberger encouraged him to take up composition and was sufficiently impressed with Parker’s organ playing skills to invite him to give the première of his first Organ Concerto – which was, in its orchestration for brass, strings and timpani (no woodwind) to prove the model for Parker’s own Organ Concerto.
		After three years in Germany Parker returned to the USA and settled in New York where he was appointed organist of St Andrew’s Church and taught first at the Cathedral School and later at the National Conservatory of Music.
		Perhaps Parker’s visit to one of England’s most revered institutions accounts for the Concerto’s somewhat Elgarian first movement, but otherwise the work reveals a strikingly diverse range of influences; the German romantics hover over the beautiful second movement whilst the delicately pattering third is clearly from the same stable as the scherzos of Louis Vierne.
