1823 - 1889 Composer of "CORONAE" in The Cyber Hymnal William H. Monk (b. Brompton, London, England, 1823; d. London, 1889) is best known for his music editing of Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861, 1868; 1875, and 1889 editions). He also adapted music from plainsong and added accompaniments for Introits for Use Throughout the Year, a book issued with that famous hymnal. Beginning in his teenage years, Monk held a number of musical positions. He became choirmaster at King's College in London in 1847 and was organist and choirmaster at St. Matthias, Stoke Newington, from 1852 to 1889, where he was influenced by the Oxford Movement. At St. Matthias, Monk also began daily choral services with the choir leading the congregation in music chosen according to the church year, including psalms chanted to plainsong. He composed over fifty hymn tunes and edited The Scottish Hymnal (1872 edition) and Wordsworth's Hymns for the Holy Year (1862) as well as the periodical Parish Choir (1840-1851). Bert Polman

Joseph Cottle

1770 - 1853 Author of "Mighty Lord, Extend Thy Kingdom" in The Cyber Hymnal Cottle, Joseph, b. 1770, d. 1853. A native of Bristol, and from 1791 to 1798 a bookseller and publisher. He is best known as the friend of Coleridge and Southey, of whom, in 1837, he published Recollections, and in 1847 Reminiscences. He was the author of numerous works in prose and verse. In 1801 he published a New Version of the Psalms of David, of which a 2nd edition (privately printed), appeared in 1805. In 1828 he published Hymns and Sacred Lyrics. In Three Parts, by Constantius. Only a few copies were printed with this title, the greater part of the issue reading " by Joseph Cottle," instead of "by Constantius." These Hymns, Psalms and Sacred Lyrics," Cottle says, “are all originals, written progressively through a period of 20 years." Some of them found their way into a few collections, but have little poetic merit, and are now disused. [Rev. W. R. Stevenson, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ================= Cottle, Joseph, p. 264, i. Two of his hymns still sur¬vive: (1) "Mighty Lord, extend Thy empire " (Missions); (2) "While marching on to Canaan's land" (Christian Warfare). These are from his Hymns, &c, 1828. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)
