	Mason & Hamlin - History

		Their father was the famous composer and educator Lowell Mason, a visionary who was the first to bring music into the public schools of America.

	Lowell Mason - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mason became an important figure on the Boston musical scene: he served as president of the Handel and Haydn Society, taught music in the public schools, was co-founder of the Boston Academy of Music (1833), and in 1838 was appointed music superintendent for the Boston school system.
		Mason and his colleagues (notably his brother Timothy Mason) did their best to characterize this music as backwoods material, "unscientific" and unworthy of the attention of modern Americans, and they propagated their views very effectively with a new form of singing school, set up to replace the old singing schools dating from colonial times.
		Lowell Mason was the father of Henry Mason (1831–90), the founder of the Mason and Hamlin firm.

	The Life of Lowell Mason
		Mason taught at one school on a volunteer basis, and his success led to the regular inclusion of music in the curriculum of Boston public schools from 1838, the first time in the USA that music achieved a comparable status with other subjects.
		In keeping with his view of music for worship, Mason's tunes are simple and chaste; their diatonic melodies have a logical phrase structure that strikes a suitable balance between repetition and contrast.
		Mason's "Work Song" ("Work for the night is coming") and "Harwell" ("Hark, ten thousand harps and voices"), for example, incorporate such traits as repeated dotted eighth- and 16th-notes, and bar-long repeated notes in the tenor and bass voices - both prominent characteristics of late 19th-century popular hymnody.
