tribute to the memory Of forgotten
American composer who deserves. but
lacks. the recognition that has been
given Stephen A. Foster. Also you
perpetuate "a joke on a sanctimonious
brother-in-law." Here's why:
The composer was Thomas Brigham
Bishop, a Maine farm boy whose fond
ness for str0ling around strumming a
banjo or guitar and making up tunes
was a source of great annoyance to
his serious minded brother-in-law. One
day the brothcr-in-Iaw had an attack OF
religious fervor, slapped himself on the
chest and shouted 81 am bound to be
soldier In the army OF the Lord !
Glory, glory, hallelujah :"
The swing Of those lines kept running
through Bishops head and after n
while he put tune to them-the tune
now so familiar 10 all Americans. Back
in those days, just before the Civil war.
this song. just two lines, verse and
chorus, became the favorite at revival
meetings down East" Later, Bishop,
taking the same air. adapted it TO new
words suggested by the Harpers Ferry
raid and the famous John Browns
Body" was the result
1t was favorite marching tune for
the soldiers of 1S61-65 who sang Ii
with variatioDs-both sacred and very.
very profane! Then Julia Ward Howe
took the same music and used 1t and
the GLORY, glory, Hallelujah" chorus in
her magnificent Battle Hymn of the
Republic" Thus song composed as
joke on brother-in-law has become
part Of national hymn
