Johann Caspar Kerll (9 April 1627 – 13 February 1693) was a German composer and organist.
Hair Story
Handel frequently borrowed themes and fragments of music from Kerll's works, and Bach arranged the Sanctus movement from Kerll's Missa superba as BWV 241, Sanctus in D major. -- Wikipedia
Johann Casper Kerll, whose wig
Was very, very, very big,
Was famous in his time and place,
And then became a model case
Of posthumous descent from grace,
And left behind the merest trace.
We know his work was up to snuff
Since Bach and Handel used his stuff.
The situation seems unfair
To Johann Kasper and his hair.

Seaborn McDaniel Denson (9 April 1854 – 18 April 936) was an American musician and singing school teacher within the Sacred Harp tradition.
Added Material
S. M. Denson wrote most of the alto lines that were added to the 1911 Original Sacred Harp. -- Wikipedia
Seaborn McDaniel Denson had
A most ambitious plan to add
New alto parts to sharp note songs
For use in shape note singalongs.
When changing three parts into four,
Did Denson find the chore a bore?
Or did it keep old Seaborn sharp
To fiddle with The Sacred Harp?
