Wolfe 1627 3 copies only. Carr was an important American composer tenor organist and publisher of English birth. "He emigrated to Philadelphia no later than July 1793 where he opened a music shop selling instruments and sheet music. From February to July 1794 he worked as a composer and arranger for Philadelphia's New Theatre and he made his stage début in Philadelphia on 22 September with the Old American Company. He accompanied the Old Americans back to New York in December 1794 remaining active with them as both performer and composer until January 1797; from early 1795 until August 1797 he operated a New York shop similar to his Philadelphia enterprise. In late 1797 he returned permanently to Philadelphia involving himself in so many aspects of the city's musical life that he became known as the 'Father of Philadelphia Music'. A prominent teacher of singing and the piano he also served as organist and choirmaster at St Augustine's Catholic Church 1801-31 and at St Peter's Episcopal Church 1816-31. In 1820 he was one of the principal founders of the Musical Fund Society of Philadelphia. . His setting of Scott's Hymn to the Virgin 1810 is generally considered the finest early American song. . Among Carr's 85 sacred works his Voluntary 1801 has been praised as the most significant organ composition from early America." Stephen Siek in Grove Music Online. Printed for B. Carr unknown
