LEUCHARS (Hately)

Composer: T. L. Hately

T. L. Hateley wrote more than 40 psalm tunes as well as some secular music. He was the most important musical influence on the Free Church in the years after the Disruption of 1843 and appears in the great portrait of the Disruption meeting of that year. He taught thousands to sing in parts and authored many books as well as lecturing widely on the history of psalmody. Marcus Paul (Great great grand son) Go to person page >
