Americh
Hall,
the
author
of
the
above
tune,
was
born
in
Raynham,
Mass.,
1785;
died
there
1827.
He
farmed
and
manufactured
straw
bonnets,
kept
tavern
and
taught
singing
schools.
Music
was
only
an
avocation
with
him.
Among
his
compositions
found
in
some
of
the ancient
tune books
are
"Morning
Glory,"
"Canaan,"
"Restoration,"
"Crucifixion,"
"Harmony,"
"Devotion,"
"Zion"
and
"All
Saints,"
New,
which
is
said
to
be
his
masterpiece.
See
further
remarks
about
him
under
tune
"Devotion,"
page
48.
Under
"Devotion"
it
is
stated
Mr,
Hall
was
born
1718.
This
is
an
error,
as
his
birth
was
1785.
