Onward, Brothers

Author: H. H. Ellis Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14413 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Onward, brothers, march still onward Lyrics: 1 Onward, brothers, march still onward, Side by side and hand in hand, Ye are bound for man’s true kingdom, Ye are an increasing band. Tho’ the way seem often doubtful, Hard the toil ye may endure, Tho’ at times your courage falter, Yet the promised land is sure. 2 Olden ages saw it dimly, And their joy to rapture wrought, Living men have gazed upon it, Standing on the hills of thought. All the past has done and suffered, All the daring and the strife, All has helped to mold the future, Make man master of his life. 3 Still brave deeds and kind are needed, Noble thoughts and feelings fair; Ye too must be strong and suffer, Ye too have to do and dare. Onward, brothers, march still onward, March still onward, hand in hand; Till ye see at last man’s kingdom, Till ye reach the promised land. Languages: English Tune Title: CARLTON

Ludwig van Beethoven

1770 - 1827 Person Name: Ludwig can Beethoven Composer of "[Onward brothers, march still onward]" in Union Hymnal, Songs and Prayers for Jewish Worship. 3rd ed. Revised and enlarged. A giant in the history of music, Ludwig van Beethoven (b. Bonn, Germany, 1770; d. Vienna, Austria, 1827) progressed from early musical promise to worldwide, lasting fame. By the age of fourteen he was an accomplished viola and organ player, but he became famous primarily because of his compositions, including nine symphonies, eleven overtures, thirty piano sonatas, sixteen string quartets, the Mass in C, and the Missa Solemnis. He wrote no music for congregational use, but various arrangers adapted some of his musical themes as hymn tunes; the most famous of these is ODE TO JOY from the Ninth Symphony. Although it would appear that the great calamity of Beethoven's life was his loss of hearing, which turned to total deafness during the last decade of his life, he composed his greatest works during this period.

Joseph Barnby

1838 - 1896 Composer of "CARLTON" in The Cyber Hymnal Joseph Barnby (b. York, England, 1838; d. London, England, 1896) An accomplished and popular choral director in England, Barnby showed his musical genius early: he was an organist and choirmaster at the age of twelve. He became organist at St. Andrews, Wells Street, London, where he developed an outstanding choral program (at times nicknamed "the Sunday Opera"). Barnby introduced annual performances of J. S. Bach's St. John Passion in St. Anne's, Soho, and directed the first performance in an English church of the St. Matthew Passion. He was also active in regional music festivals, conducted the Royal Choral Society, and composed and edited music (mainly for Novello and Company). In 1892 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. His compositions include many anthems and service music for the Anglican liturgy, as well as 246 hymn tunes (published posthumously in 1897). He edited four hymnals, including The Hymnary (1872) and The Congregational Sunday School Hymnal (1891), and coedited The Cathedral Psalter (1873). Bert Polman
