America's First Composer William Billings Portrait

A Boston Tanner, uncouth yet a true patriot, William Billings led early American music. Born October 7, 1764 in Boston, he was a deformed, eccentric figure who chalked tunes on leather and carried tobacco in a leather pocket. His music, infused with patriotism, spread through New England and aided Revolutionary spirit, and he likely introduced the violincello to New England churches and may have used whistle pipes to set tunes. He died September 26, 1800 in Boston and left an influential, if somewhat unmarked, legacy on Boston Common.
