Biographical note
Dudley Buck was born in Hartford, Connecticut, on March 19, 1839. He served as a church organist and touring concert organist for many years. In 1875, he moved to New York. Two years later, Buck assumed the position of organist/choirmaster at Brooklyn's Church of the Holy Trinity. In the same year, he began his tenure as founding director of the Brooklyn Apollo Club's male chorus. In 1898, Buck was honored by election to the National Institute of Arts and Letters. Eleven years later, on October 6, 1909, the composer died at the age of 70.
