Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Listen". Harry James Lincoln, also known as Harry Jay Lincoln (13 April 1878 Shamokin, Pennsylvania – 19 April 1937 Philadelphia), was a music composer from Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

Career

Aside from running his own publication company, he wrote many marches and rags, such as the Bees Wax Rag (1911), the Lincoln Highway two step march (1921), and quite possibly the Repasz Band March (1901). This last composition, created for the local Repasz Band of Williamsport, Pennsylvania (founded in 1831 and currently the oldest brass band still in existence in the United States), has also been credited to its trombonist Charles C. Sweeley; however, evidence indicates that Sweeley had bought rights to the march from Lincoln.[1][2] Lincoln also arranged the works of other composers, such as Irene Marschand Ritter.[3]

Pseudonyms

Lincoln often used several pseudonyms, a common practice for composers who published in their own firm. His pseudonyms included:
