Biography
Thurlow Weed is a composer and church musician living in Lancaster, Ohio. He is the organist for Whitehall United Methodist Church in Whitehall, Ohio (suburb of Columbus), a post he has held since 1996. Before moving to Ohio, he had lived his entire life in Key West, Florida, where his father was the minister of a small Bahamian congregation. He was confirmed as an Episcopalian at St. Paul's Church in Key West and served there in numerous capacities, including cantor and sub-organist. At the same time, he served as Minister of Music at St. Peter's Episcopal Church (Key West), a small Bahamian Anglo-Catholic parish.
Weed is the composer of numerous hymn tunes in traditional English style. In addition, he has composed an English language Missa Brevis for St. Paul's Church in Key West, and he has completed a Latin Missa Solemnis for general use in Roman and Anglo-Catholic parishes. Other Latin liturgical music is in process. Compositions also include shape note (Sacred Harp) hymns, and hymns in the English "West Gallery" style.
He shares his home with two pianos, a pipe organ, and six cats. Some of the cats occasionally strive for musicianship by creating aleatoric music on a piano if the key cover is accidentally left open.
A brief note to clarify any copyright questions: While I do retain a personal copyright for all my compositions, they may be freely copied, distributed, performed, and recorded, but may not be sold. I wrote the music to be sung and enjoyed. Soli Deo Gloria!
