Clement Cotterill Scholefield

1839 - 1904 Person Name: Clement C. Scholefield Composer of "ST. NICHOLAS" in The Hymnal Rev. Clement C. Scholefield (b. Edgbaston, near Birmingham, Warwickshire, England, 1839; d. Goldalming, Surrey, England, 1904) Educated at St. John's College, Cambridge, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1867. He served at Hove, Brighton, St. Peter's in Kensington (1869-1879), and briefly at St. Luke's in Chelsea.

Mainly self-taught as a musician, Scholefield became an accomplished pianist and composed some songs and hymn tunes. Bert Polman

Person Name: Unknown Author of "O Brightness of th'Immortal Father's Face" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Edward W. Eddis

1825 - 1905 Translator of "O Brightness of the immortal Father's face" in The Hymnal Eddis, Edward William, a member of the Catholic Apostolic Church, commonly known as the "Irvingites," compiled for the use of their congregations, and published in 1864, Hymns for the Use of the Churches (London, Bosworth & Harrison). It contained 205 hymns, of which nineteen were his original compositions, and two translations. The 2nd edition, in a revised form with 320 hymns and 44 doxologies, was published in 1871 (London, J. Strangeways). To this he contributed forty new hymns and one translation, thus making 62 hymns. All these are signed "E. W. Eddis." Very few are found in any other collection. The exceptions include "O brightness of the Immortal Father's Face " (translation from the Greek); "In us the hope of glory" (The Second Advent desired); and "Thou standest at the altar" (Holy Communion). There are other hymns in this collection signed “E.," "C. E.," and "E. E.," which seem to indicate members of his family, but about which we can gain no definite information. The last, "E. E.," is probably his wife, as her name was "Ellen Eddis." -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ============================================================= Eddis, E. Wilton (not William), p. 321, i., b. in 1825. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907) ============================== Edward William Eddis was born at Islington, London, and became a minister of the Catholic Apostolic church, commonly known as the "Irvingites," for which he compiled Hymns for the Use of the Church, 1854. To this collection he contributed 19 original hymns and two translations, and to a second edition, in 1871, he added 40 more hymns and one new translation. He died in Toronto, Canada. --The Hymnal 1940 Companion.
