June 5 - Daniel Pinkham (The Musical Birthday Series)

Daniel Pinkham (5 June 1923 –18  December 2006) was an American composer, organist, and harpsichordist.  While he composed in most of the major genres, his lasting success has been with relatively modest works for practical use by organists and non-professional choirs.

 Practical Considerations

Daniel Pinkham, in his career,

Diversified his style,

Trying this out for a year

That out for a while.

Eclectic bits from there and here

Conveying the expressible,

He carried on from crib to bier,

Straightforwardly accessible.
