Daniel Gregory Mason (20 November 1873 – 4 December 1953) was an American composer and music critic.
True To His Name
He was a fastidious composer who repeatedly revised his scores. – Wikipedia
Daniel Gregory Mason's compositional style is resolutely conservative based in the Germanic tradition. – archives.nypl.org
What’s in a name? The Poet asks;
Does it inspire or chasten?
Does it predestine roles and masks
That we must find our place in?
Imagine then, the heavy tasks
Of someone christened “Mason.”
