In addition to being a horse breeder and farmer, he was a teacher of singing; in that capacity he traveled considerably throughout the northeastern states. He died in Randolph, Vermont , where he also served as town clerk. Justin Morgan was the owner of a stallion named Figure , who became the sire of the Morgan horse breed. Morgan received Figure along with two other horses as payment of a debt. As Figure grew older, people began to recognise his skill in a variety of areas. Figure became a prolific breeding stallion; his descendants, still noted for their versatility and friendly personality, became the first American breed of horse to survive to the present. Figure's grave is marked by a stone in Tunbridge, Vermont. His burial site in the Randolph Center Cemetery is marked by a more recent stone. Morgan was a composer, best known for his hymns and fuguing tunes. While not so famous as those by William Billings , his works share the same characteristic roughness, directness, and folk-like simplicity. Philadelphia, The former collection includes what perhaps is his most famous composition entitled, "Amanda," a setting of Isaac Watts 's poem based on Psalm Morgan's setting of Psalm 63, entitled Montgomery , was a popular fuguing tune , included among the hymn-tunes most frequently printed during the eighteenth century. Morgan and his horse-breeding venture is the subject of a children's book by Marguerite Henry , Justin Morgan Had a Horse , that won the Newbery Honor in In , the book was adapted as a film by Disney Studios. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. American horse breeder, composer and singing master. Justin Morgan - Wikipedia To some people, that would be a wonderful thing to receive, but Justin didn't need a horse. He needed money. One might say, "Sell the horse"-- but that's just the problem. No one wants to use their money on a small, VERY small , scrawny animal, who is weak If you went to Vermont, back in the time of the late s No one wants to use their money on a small, VERY small , scrawny animal, who is weak and cannot work like other horses. Since no one will buy poor Little Bub, Justin is indeed stuck with him. See what can happen that turns this story upside-down when Justin Morgan's friend decides to help out. Why, even President Monroe takes notice! This book tells a true story. I liked the book because while I was reading it, I knew that it actually happened. In fact, Little Bub's tale became an American legend. Feb 27, Squire rated it it was amazing Shelves: classics-challenge Another Newberry Honor book by Marguerite Henry. I'm not a horse person. But I'm quite taken by Henry's horse stories. One of the things that impresses me about Henry is that all her stories are based on true stories and the amount research she does to write them is tremendous. And it shows in the final product. The illustrations of Wesley Dennis add another level of enjoyment to her stories. Here she relates the story of the the runty colt that grew up to become his own breed and the boy who be Another Newberry Honor book by Marguerite Henry. Here she relates the story of the the runty colt that grew up to become his own breed and the boy who believed and loved him. It starts in the mountains of Vermont and goes through the War of Exhilarating and suspenseful with lovable characters, this one turns out to be an endearing piece of historic Americana as President James Monroe makes an appearance in the finale of the book. And the journey of "Lil' Bub" turns out to be allegorical to the American experience. A true masterpiece of children's literature. I missed this one when I was growing up, but it never really fit into my reading interests as a youngster. Reading it as 51 has been a revelation to say the least. Aug 09, Karol rated it really liked it Shelves: borrowed-library , read-in I loved the story of one young man's devotion to both Justin Morgan and his remarkable horse. Aug 17, Christy Peterson rated it liked it. Read this aloud to Hope. I assumed that even though it is historical fiction, that it would stay pretty close to what is known of the true account. Unfortunately, it is as close to what is known, as a Disney movie is true to its book. Jun 05, Tiffany rated it it was amazing. Highly recommend. Henry's books make wonderful read-alouds. Every time I read a book by Marguerite Henry it becomes a new favorite. I've never yet opened one I didn't love. Her stories are sweet, beautifully written, and carefully researched. You will learn something. They are engaging enough for adults and children alike. They carefully introduce vocabulary. They teach virtue. A wonderful, touching horse story that I somehow missed reading in my preteen and early teen horse loving years. The relationship between Joel and Lil Bub was very special, and this book was all the more enjoyable because it is basically a true story about the horse that founded the Morgan horse breed. Feb 06, Sarah rated it really liked it Shelves: recently-read-with-the-kids. We read this book as part of our American History studies this year. It takes place just after the Revolution and covers several more years on past the War of My kids really enjoyed it but then we haven't read a Marguerite Henry book that they didn't love. May 17, Sam Wagner rated it it was ok. Just finished the book and I was thoroughly disappointed. Though the book is descriptive and uses multiple artistic elements, it simply lacked action and relatable characters. The book can be completely summed up with merely the title. Dec 28, Ashley rated it it was ok Shelves: own , newbery-honors. I suppose it probably isn't fair to give this book only 2 stars but Ashley is NOT an animal person and this book was boring as all get out I read this long ago back when I only read books about horses. This is the original edition 89 pages. This version not the expanded rewrite from was the Newbery honor book. The illustrations are well done, and they suit the book perfectly. Jul 31, Jenny rated it liked it Shelves: children-s-books , newbery. I liked but didn't love this story. I appreciated Joel's concern, love and dedication toward Little Bub. The story was interesting but didn't fully draw me in. Little Bub, Justin Morgan's horse, knows how to make a statement. From the first whinny in chapter one as a "too small" colt to the "deep snorty rumble" he obliges to President Monroe at the peak of the horse's fame, he frames the history of the first of the Morgan breed in style. Justin Morgan Had a Horse depicts the real story of how the Morgan breed came to be. Marguerite Henry consults with many historians, surviving relatives of some of her book's characters, and many history books to make her horse stories as authentic as possible. That and great story telling makes all of her books fascinating reads. The narrative follows Joel Goss, initially a ten- year-old boy joining his teacher, Justin Morgan, on a peregrination to Massachusetts. Morgan has debts to repay, and he was hoping a friend that owed him had the money. Instead Morgan and Joel leave with one colt Joel and Little Bub begin their story. Morgan can't find anyone willing to buy such a small creature and had Joel gentle and train him. Joel aims to buy Little Bub one day, but in the meanwhile a novel passes. Little Bub grows in fame. He's able to do everything one can expect from a horse, and then some. Size doesn't matter. However, money does and Joel has to keep saving. I love Henry's books for many reasons: the horses, the history, the friendliness of the people, and the bond between the main human character and the main equine character. Joel wants a life filled with love and horses, and he's willing to find a way to make that happen even though his father forces him to sign on as an apprentice to the town's inn and sawmill owner. Little Bub gets rented and owned all over, competes all over, but Joel finds a way to accompany him. I imagine those movies where bad things happen to the animals--and even though this rarely happens in Henry's books--I feel like Joel is a projection of myself, and assuring the safety of the horse everywhere he goes.

    For God and Country: Scriptural Exegesis, Editorial Intervention, and Revolutionary Politics in First New England School Anthems A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music by Molly K. Williams BA, Lipscomb University, 2005 MM, University of Cincinnati, 2010 Committee chair: bruce d. mcclung, PhD Abstract Since 1991 music of the First New England School has become readily accessible through critical editions. The compilers of these volumes edited the music, traced the compositional styles and methods of these composers, and documented their biographies. However, no one has explored how composers of this era edited scripture and sacred poetry for anthems and how these editorial acts might reflect the politics of the Colonial and Federal Periods. Anthems afforded composers more creative liberty than strophic genres such as plain tunes and fuging tunes. Because anthems are long, through-composed works, composers had wide latitude regarding the text they set; most drew from Biblical scripture, sacred poetry, or a combination of the two. This study traces the texts that First New England composers chose and how composers edited them for anthems. In some cases, composers employed straightforward, unedited sections of scripture, but in most cases, they or their collaborators edited scripture and drew on diverse literary sources. This study addresses such issues as musical setting, geographical locale, and politics. Included are where composers lived, what their personal religious practices may have been, and how involved they were in politics and civic activities.

Sampsel 2009 iii SAMUEL BABCOCK (1760-1813), ARCHETYPAL PSALMODIST OF THE FIRST NEW ENGLAND SCHOOL OF COMPOSERS Laurie J. Sampsel, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2009 The life, musical activities, compositions, and musical relationships of the Boston-area composer Samuel Babcock (1760-1813) make him an archetypal psalmodist active during the period from 1790 to 1810. Research on early American Protestant sacred music to date has focused on the major composers and compilers of the period such as William Billings and Andrew Law, and on indexing the repertory. This dissertation approaches the topic from a different historiographical perspective, measuring Babcock against the criteria suggested by musicologist Nym Cooke for a composer more typical of the First New England School. Part I of the dissertation establishes the facts of Babcock’s life, analyzes and describes his music, and documents the distribution of his works.
