Nevin, Ethelbert Woodbridge

Nevin, Ethelbert Woodbridge

▪ American composer
born Nov. 25, 1862, Edgeworth, Pa., U.S.
died Feb. 17, 1901, New Haven, Conn.

      U.S. composer of light songs and piano pieces.

      Nevin studied in New York City, Boston, and Berlin, first appearing as a pianist in Pittsburgh (1886) and later in Boston, Chicago, New York City, and other U.S. cities. His early songs on English and German texts were influenced by Schubert and Schumann. His later pieces, in a lighter style, include the much-loved “Rosary” (1898) and “Mighty lak' a Rose” (1900). His best known piano piece was “Narcissus” (1891), from the Water Scenes.

      His brother Arthur Finley Nevin (1871–1943), a composer and conductor, did research on the music of the Blackfoot Indians and used this music in his opera Poia (Berlin, 1910).
