career at the University of North Carolina as head of the organ
department. There he taught not only organ, but also piano,
conducting, composition and other courses. He was often called
upon for participation in special events.

in Europe and was called upon to teach piano to the children of
the royal family of Austria.

ries with it a one thousand doh

“Fantasy for Orchestra,” written
especially for the North Caro
lina Symphony. He has many

books on the subject of music.
While doing research on
North Carolina Folk Songs here
at Mars Hill several years ago,
he met his wife, the former

teaching in the Mars Hill Col
lege music department.
