Harvey Worthington Loomis

About

American composer (February 5, 1865, Brooklyn, New York – December 25, 1930, Boston, Massachusetts).

He is remembered today for his associations with the Indianist movement and the Wa-Wan Press. Loomis studied piano with Madeline Schiller. In his youth he won a scholarship for three years' study at the National Conservatory, where he studied with Antonín Dvořák, and quickly became a favored pupil of the Bohemian composer. He gained his greatest fame from the collection "Lyrics of the Red Man," settings of American Indian songs rescored for piano. Loomis also composed works for children. He also composed numerous stage works, including comic operas and pantomimes; sonatas for violin and for piano; and incidental music to numerous stage plays. Little of his music has been committed to disc, although some of the Lyrics may be found on a recording of Indianist piano music released by Naxos Records on the Marco Polo label.
