Who was Whitney Eugene Thayer?

An early student of John Knowles Paine, he advanced to studied organ and counterpoint in Berlin with Carl August Haupt. After returning from Berlin he worked in Boston and later in New York City as an organist. He was also a touring virtuoso, organ teacher, and music writer.
Apart from a festive cantata and a mass, he composed numerous works for organ, art songs, and vocal quartets.
