Arthur Henry Messiter

1834 - 1916 Composer of "MARION" in Glory to God Arthur H. Messiter (b. Frome, Somersetshire, England, 1834; d. New York, NY, 1916) Educated by private tutors in England, he, immigrated to the United States in 1863 and had an active musical career in Philadelphia, which included an organist position at St. James the Less.

Messiter was an editor of the Episcopal Hymnal (1893), compiled the Psalter (1889) and Choir Office Book (1891), and wrote a musical history of Trinity Episcopal Church, New York (1906). Bert Polman
