American Composers
Mary Turner Salter.

MARY TURNER sALTER is the
composer of more than zoo
songs, yet it is her Cry of Rachel
| that dominates all her other COM
positions in popularity and power of
dramatic appeal. IT is interesting to
| learn that she composed that work
mentally while bending "over the
dishpan." 1t seems that Mrs. Salter
started composing music when her
seven babies were very, very young.
! The ideals for both words and music
| frequently came to her when she was
doing the dishes or other household
tasks, Then, after she had put the
babies to bed and sat down a few
minutes to relax and rest, she would
| JOt down the melodies that had come
! TO mind during the day. She hid
| these away for some time i'll her
dresSer-drawers because in those days
| 1t was not considered lady-like for a
| married woman to do anything other
than care for her husband, children
! and home. For a woman to use her
| veritable crime.
| Mrs. Salter was born in Peoria, H.,
on March Is, 1856. When she was
still very young her family moved to
/
| II miles from Burlington, Iowa
! When Mary Turner was Is years old
! She was given vocal lessons in Bnrl
! ington by Arthur tAlfred), who soon
I after went to Cleveland, Ohio, The
| young singer achieved local celebrity
for her singing in the Congregational
Church of Burlington. Then she was
! placed under the tuition of Max
| Shilling. who put her into operate
| music and aroused her ambition for a
! stage career. In 1873. she went to
! Boston and entered the College of
| Music Of Boston University In May
| 1874 she sang che faro SenZo,
IGuridice" in Bumstead Hall. John
| O'Neill was her teacher and she CON
| tinued study there through the next
| season and, with some Interruptions,
! up to the spring of 1876. Then, the
| following year. she began study with
| Nine. Erminia Rudersdorf, who
| recognized not only her talent as a
| singer but also her exceptional abil-
! ity as Il musician. Madame was in
| Strumental in securing opportunities
| for her appearance with prominent
artists.
| In 1877 Mary Turner went with
| Nine. Rudersorf to New York and
| there succeeded Emma Thursby as So
| prano at the Broadway Tabernacle.
| OVrrWork and a consequent nervous
breakdown forced her. to relinqush
plans for operate work. and two
| years later she went to New Haven,
| Conn. as soprano at Trinity Church.
| Engaged as vocal teacher at Welies-
ley College, she made weekly trips
| back and forth until the time of her
marriage to Dr. Sumner Salter,
! famous organist and also a composer.
! in 1881. DR.. Salter was for many
| years musical director at Williams
| College.
! After a trip abroad Mary Turner
| Salter resided in Syracuse. y. y: At
! l4nta, Ga. and New York city, in
! turn. until going to Williamstown,
| Mass. in 1905 She continued church
| and concert singing with only occa-
| sional interruptions until 1898. She
! has taught more or less up to the
/ present time. DIR. and Mrs. Salter
| now share an attractive studio in
| New York City.
