Composer; Hugh Wilson (b. Fenwick, Ayrshire, Scotland, c. 1766; d. Duntocher, Scotland, 1824)
Wilson made the Scottish ballad MARTYRDOM into a hymn tune around 1800. Wilson learned the shoemaker trade from his father. He also studied music and mathematics and became proficient enough in various subjects to become a parttime teacher to the villagers. Around 1800 he moved to Pollokshaws to work in the cotton mills and later moved to Duntocher, where he became a draftsman in the local mill. He also made sundials and composed hymn tunes as a hobby.
Playing this today for practice, it's a favorite of mine for a long time, something about the rythem I really like.
Tune played on my 1930 Moller pipe organ.
A few minor issues still need to be addressed and corrected yet.
Slide shows of the work progress over the last year from Dec 2015 to Around Sept 2016
