ES-1737B

Dudley Buck (March 10,

1839 – October 6, 1909) was an American composer, organist, and writer on music. He published several books,

most notably the Dictionary of Musical Terms and Influence

of the Organ in History, which was published in New York City in 1882. He is best known today for his

organ composition, Concert Variations on the Star-Spangled Banner, Op. 23, which was later arranged into an orchestral

version. Born in Hartford, Connecticut,

Buck was the son of a merchant who gave him every opportunity to cultivate his

musical talents. After attending Trinity College,

for four years (1858–1862) he studied in Leipzig at the Leipzig Conservatory where

he was a pupil of Louis Plaidy. He then

pursued further studies in Dresden and Paris.

On returning to America he held positions of organist in Hartford, Chicago (1869), and Boston (1871). In 1875 Buck went

to New York City to

assist Theodore Thomas as conductor of orchestral concerts, and

from 1877 to 1902 was organist at Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn. By this time he had become well known as a composer.

His compositions included church music, a number Light of Asia (1886),

etc.), an unperformed grand opera Serâpis,

a comic opera Deseret (1880, survives only in

fragments), a symphonic overture Marmion, a symphony in E flat, and other orchestral and vocal works. Buck also taught

private music lessons throughout his career. Among his notable pupils

were Paul Ambrose, C. B. Hawley, William Howland, Daniel Protheroe, Harry Rowe Shelley, James Francis Cooke,

and Charles Sanford Skilton.
