William Bradbury

Birth: October 6, 1816, York, Maine
Death: January 7, 1868 Montclair, New Jersey

William Batchelder Bradbury was born in York, Maine. He studied organ and voice under Lowell Mason, and became an accomplished organist and choir director. His first position was organist for a small church, for which he would receive $25.00 per year. However he soon found out that this particular organ required the organist to pull up the keys after pressing them down, in order to stop the sound. He immediately requested that his pay be doubled, as there was twice the work to be done.

Bradbury was significant in church and choral music in America. He published at least fifty-nine different hymnbooks, and organized the Juvenile Music Festivals in New York. After studying in Germany, he started music conventions in New Jersey. He compiled over 50 collections of Sunday-school songs, including Devotional Hymns and Tune Book, 1864, Fresh Laurels for the Sabbath School, 1867, and Bright Jewels, 1869. Many tunes he composed

William B. Bradbury: Composer of Hymns

Mr. Bradbury, in his day, created a style of juvenile music, especially Sunday-school music, that swept the country. He set the pattern for his successors in Sunday-school song-making, and those who have harped on the key-note that he struck have been most successful. True, we have improved some in the way of hymns, and a smoother voicing of the parts, but there are still many Sunday-school song writers who regard Mr. Bradbury's writings as the ideal.

William Batchelder Bradbury was born at York, York County, Maine, [United States], October 6, 1816. He came of a good family. He spent the first few years of his life on his father's farm, and rainy days would be spent in the shoe-shop, as was the general cus

William Bradbury (printer)

English printer (1799–1869)

William Bradbury (13 April 1799 – 11 April 1869) was an English printer and publisher. He is known for his work as a partner from 1830 in Bradbury and Evans, who printed the works of a number of major novelists such as Charles Dickens and William Makepeace Thackeray, as well as leading periodicals such as Punch, which they also owned.^[1]

Early life

Bradbury was born in Bakewell in Derbyshire, where he was baptized on 14 April 1799.^[2] He was the son of John Bradbury (1776–1834), a shoemaker, and his wife, Elizabeth née Hardwick (1775-1820). By 1811 the family had moved to Lincoln^[3] where Bradbury was expected to follow his father into shoemaking. Instead, in 1813 he entered into a seven-year apprenticeship as a compositor under John Drury (1757-1815) and after his death his son John Wold Drury (1789-1850).^[4] By 1821 Bradbury had set up his own printing firm on Castle Hill in Lincoln. From 1822 to 1830 he went into business with his soon-to-be brother-in-law Will
