Question:  George Alfred Maran attended Harvard University where he and his voice came to the attention of a prolific German composer whose most popular work was written in what year?
Context: Heinrich Lichner (6 March 18297 January 1898) was a prolific German composer, best known today for his teaching pieces - simple piano works written for students.  He was born in Harpersdorf, Silesia.  His sonatinas, including Opp.  4, 49, and 66 (among others) are in a light, fluent classical style, although the harmony occasionally betrays the influence of romanticism.  He was also a director and organist - he worked as organist at the church of the 11,000 virgins, and spent a part of his life as the director of a "saengerbund" (choral festival) in Breslau, where he died. George Alfred Sawin (October 1878 – November 29, 1961) was an American football player and electrical engineer.  A native of Massachusetts, Sawin attended Harvard College where he played at the halfback position for the Harvard Crimson football team in 1899 and 1900.  He was selected as a first-team All-American in 1899 by both the "New York Tribune" and the "New York Sun".  In 1900, he was named a second-team All-American by both Walter Camp and Caspar Whitney.  He later worked as an electrical engineer and lived in Scarsdale, New York.  He died at his home in Scarsdale in 1961 at age 83. Paul Hindemith ( ) (16 November 1895 – 28 December 1963) was a prolific German composer, violist, violinist, teacher and conductor.  Notable compositions include his song cycle "Das Marienleben" (1923), "Der Schwanendreher" for viola and orchestra (1935), and opera "Mathis der Maler" (1938).  Hindemith's most popular work, both on record and in the concert hall, is likely the "Symphonic Metamorphosis of Themes by Carl Maria von Weber", written in 1943. Craig Unger is an American journalist and writer.  He grew up in Dallas, Texas, and attended Harvard University.  His most recent book "Boss Rove: Inside Karl Rove's Secret Kingdom of Power".  He also wrote "The Fall of the House of Bush," about the internal feud in the Bush family and the rise and collusion of the neoconservative and Christian right in Republican party politics, viewing each group's weltanschauung and efforts concerning present and potential future US policy through a distinctly negative prism.  A previous work, "House of Bush, House of Saud" explored the relationship between the Bush family and the House of Saud.  Craig Unger's work is featured in Michael Moore's film "Fahrenheit 9/11".  Unger has served as deputy editor of the New York Observer and was editor-in-chief of Boston Magazine.  He has written about George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush for "The New Yorker", "Esquire Magazine" and "Vanity Fair".  He has written about the Romney family and Hart InterCivic.

In 1904, he became the tenth head coach of the Georgia football team and recorded a 1–5 record.  The following year, Barnard took over the head coaching job at George Washington, which he held for one year.  There, he recorded a 3–4–2 record. George Alfred Maran (July 25, 1926 – Nov 26, 2011) was an American opera, oratorio, and concert tenor.  Born near Boston, Massachusetts.  Maran attended Harvard University where he and his voice came to the attention of people such as Leonard Bernstein and Paul Hindemith.  He first drew international attention when he won the “Mozart-Medaille”(Mozart Medal) from the Mozarteum International Foundation in Salzburg in 1956 on Mozart’s 200th birthday.  The same year, and the next forty years thereafter, he was a soloist at the Opera in Darmstadt, Germany.  Even so, he continued singing all over Europe and the United States, the world premiere of A Midsummer Night's Dream (opera) with Benjamin Britten conducting as a prime example.  He has sung many wide-ranging and varied genres as soloist in opera, operetta, oratorio, and on the concert stage.

He died on March 27, 1902 in Florence, Italy, shortly before he would have turned 33.  Soon after, a volume of his last poems, composed while in Florence, "Written in Florence: the Last Verses of Hugh McCulloch", was published.
