kayreSometime last December I searched for "Oneida" on Hymnary.com, looking for hymns of the Oneida community, and instead got the tune ONEIDA by Thomas Commuck. I clicked through and was immediately fascinated-- first Native American composer published in the United States! By January 1 I was outlining research plans. In June I presented a program on Commuck's life and music at my church.
At some point I mentioned this to a writer of hymn texts with whom I've had some contact. He suggested that it sounded like a great topic for a sectional at the Hymn Society conference, and attached a link to the application for sectionals. In October I submitted the application.
I got the email yesterday-- I'M IN!! I will be presenting on Commuck at the annual conference of The Hymn Society In the United States and Canada (international!) in Detroit in July!
