'''Biography'''
Samuel Babcock was an early American composer of sacred music. He was born in [[wikipedia:Milton, Massachusetts|Milton, Massachusetts]], and spent most of his working life as a hatter in [[wikipedia:Watertown, Massachusetts|Watertown]]. In March 1813, he enlisted in the artillery company under [[wikipedia:Rufus McIntire|Rufus McIntire]] (in the [[wikipedia:War of 1812|War of 1812]]): he died in November of the same year from a fever, at French Mills, New York.
Babcock's musical works were mainly published in his own collection ''The Middlesex Harmony'': the first edition of this work was published in 1795, and an enlarged second edition was published in 1803. In addition, some of Babcock's music was published in collections compiled by others, including [[Daniel Belknap]]'s ''The Evangelical Harmony'' (1800).
