Excerpt from Henry Hadley: Ambassador of HarmonyThe author feels peculiarly fitted to write a work on Dr. Hadley. He is a native and resident of the composer's home city, a long time friend of the family and has, dur ing the past twenty years or so, been able fully to absorb the Hadley tradition. This, together with the experience of a musician and his detailed study of the composer's work, enables him to appreciate to a marked degree Henry Hadley's place in American music. Sitting in his boyhood days under the inspired direction of Dr. Hadley's father, then director of music in the schools, the writer learned much regarding the early life of the illustrious son, with whom he became acquainted in 1909, soon after Dr. Hadley's return from Germany.For much of the material in this book, the writer wishes to acknowledge gratefully the information granted by many residents and former residents of Dr. Hadley's home town, including his relatives. Grateful acknowledgment is also made to the various books, periodicals and news papers from which material has been gathered.With hope that this volume will not only enlighten many art-loving Americans, but will also aid in giving to Dr. Hadley a measure of the recognition due him, the author gladly submits these pages to all interested readers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
