Greatorex, Henry Wellington

English-born American, 1813–1858. A native of Derbyshire, he was born into a family with a strong church-music tradition. He emigrated to the United States in 1836 and served as organist of various churches. In 1851 he published the Collection of Sacred Music, a volume that included thirty-seven of his own hymn tunes and several by his father, Thomas Greatorex, and his grandfather Anthony Greatorex.
