Episcopal Church in Stuyvesant
Square, one of the most prominent
Protestant Episcopal Churches in the
country, last Sunday, celebrated the
thirty ninth anniversary Of Harry T.
Burleigh as the choir's baritone solo
list. The occasion was also the ninth
consecutive year in which the rich
music of Negro spirituaIs filled the
spacious edifice.
When the singing and the service
were done, parishioners and friends
who had crowded the old church hur-
ried to the choir rooms in the base
ment to congratulate Mr.. Burleigh.
As he shook the scores of Offered
hand and smiling accepted the congrat
~lations the white haired soloist gave
credit to the rest Of the choir. to the
choir master, and the ~organist, to al
most anyone but himself; but in real
ity it was a Burleigh day at st.
Georges. All but three of the spirit
uals that had made the congregation
sigh audibly with pleasure had been
arranged by Mr.. Burleigh, and he
sang four of them solo.
One more had been especially lent
to the church in his honor by Hall
Johnson, and the Largo fom Dvorak's
"New World Symphony" had been
played for him on the violin while he
sat in his stall and thought Of his old
friend, who had written it after hear

said Mr.. Burleigh in a reminiscent
interval allowed by a pause in his
dressing. "Old DR.. Rainsford hired me
when I was struggling with my music
in New York. They began these SER

1924, and every one seemed to like
them, so they continued them"
Mr.. Burleigh asked almost every

him afterward, told his son, Aston
Burleigh, to thank those he could not
get at; told those he could that he
was proud of his sons playing in
"Run Little Chillun," and altogether
radiated happiness.
Aston Burleigh explained that his
father had begun the arrangement
of the s~pirituals when he was study
ing music, the first man to set them
down for voices. He sang them first
in public when he used to tour with
Booker I. Washington to raise money
for Tuskegee. He had been singing
them for the pure pleasure of it ever
since he was a boy in Erie, N. Y. and
he and his father and mother hum
med them at their work. He was a
wine waiter at the Grand Union Ho-
tel at Saratoga when Victor Herbert
was assistant bandmaster. Though
the musician could never get his wine
cold enough, he liked to hear the
spirituals. and Mr.. Burleigh was his
friend until he died.
