Harry J. Lincoln (1878-1937)
Last updated: 07.08.18
Harry J. Lincoln was an American composer of popular music. For such a prolific composer (at least 180 titles and still counting) it is somewhat surprising that so little is known either about his private life or about his development as a musician. His first printed composition appears to have been The Midnight Fire-Alarm (1900 - DBE 1237) which was published by Edward Taylor Paull who was at that time the proclaimed "The New March King". Lincoln himself was to assume a variant this title "America's March King" almost twenty years later with his Repasz on Parade (1919 - DBE 1251). Sometime during 1901 he started his long association with the Vandersloot Publishing Company of Williamsport, Pennsylvania for whom he wrote marches, waltzes, reveries, serenades, songs, a maxixe and yes ...... even a dozen rags or thereabouts. Of these, his Halley's Comet (1905 - DBE 126), Bees Wax Rag (1911) and Checkers (1913 - DBE 1210) are perhaps the best known. In common with other prolific composers during the ragtime era, he used a number of pseudonyms including Charles Sweeley, for his early Repasz Band (1901 - DBE 1250), Abe Losch and H.A. Fischler as well as using various Vandersloot family names.
