Exploring the Choral Music of the Upper Valley’s Jeremiah Ingalls (1764-1838)

A great opportunity to experience an historic local composer at Lyme Congregational Church (LCC). Please join us! 

Guest speaker/choir director Nym Cooke, an expert in late 18th-century New England music.

  • Saturday, August 8th, from 4:30-6:30 pm:  Workshop with Nym Cooke at LCC with a potluck to follow.  
  • Sunday, August 9th, at 8:45 am: At the LCC Sunday service (9:30 am), chorus members will sing the pieces learned the evening before.  

If you have Sunday obligations, please feel free to join the workshop and potluck on Saturday.  We encourage singers to join us on Sunday if possible.

We will take a brief and lively dive into the choral music of Jeremiah Ingalls, who moved to Newbury, VT, in the late 1780s. Ingalls helped pioneer a new genre, sometimes called the folk hymn, where fiddle tunes, marches, and secular songs are harmonized for several voices and given sacred texts. He was also a remarkably gifted and innovative composer, and we’ll sing several of his finest works, truly miniature masterpieces.

Ingalls was one of a kind. His musical mind produced strong, exciting melodies and original and poignantly effective approaches to the setting of texts. Of the approximately 250 known New England composers of his generation, he’s right up there with William Billings, Timothy Swan, Justin Morgan, and Daniel Read. 

Please feel free to pass this information on and invite other singers — the more, the merrier!  If you can attend one or both, please send an email to acheroffpiano@gmail.com. We will send the music out to all attendees ahead of time.  (Hard copies will also be available that weekend.)
