Biography
Rt. Rev'd Thurlow Weed is a composer and organist living in Lancaster, Ohio. He serves as organist and composer-in-residence at St Johns' Episcopal Church in Lancaster, Ohio, and St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Logan, Ohio.
Before moving to Ohio, he had lived his entire life in Key West, Florida, where his father was the minister of a small Bahamian Presbyterian congregation. His mother was native Dutch, born in 's-Gravenhage (The Hague), Netherlands. 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. Concurrently, he served as Minister of Music at St. Peter's Episcopal Church (Key West), a small Bahamian Anglo-Catholic parish. He is Bishop of the Diocese of the West of the Progressive Episcopal Church.
Bishop Weed is the composer of over 130 hymn tunes, mostly in the 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. Compositions also include shape note (Sacred Harp) hymns, and hymns in the English "West Gallery" style. A number of hymn descants and Anglican chants are also available.
Some additional music is available for purchase at Sheet Music Plus [1].
He shares his home with two pianos, a Well-tempered pipe organ, and four 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!
