Ellwanger (1850-1883). Henry B. Ellwanger was born in Rochester on October 8, 1850, the second son of George and Cornelia B. Ellwanger. On February 4, 1874, he was married to Mary Brooks. Henry B., the son of a senior partner of the Ellwanger and Barry horticultural and floral firm, dedicated his life mainly to the study of roses. A well-published authority on the rose, his name became widely known for his research. He was also an important musician in the history of St. Andrew&#8217;s Episcopal Church of Rochester. He was the founder of their church choir, as well as their director until his death. In January 1882, he became one of the founding members of the Rochester Oratorio Society, as well as it&#8217;s First Vice-President. He died of typhoid Fever at his home in Rochester on August 7, 1883.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Provenance<\/h4>\n<p>This collection is the result of Henry B. Ellwanger&#8217;s musical work in Rochester. Records at the Sibley Library show that this collection was a gift of Margaret Ellwanger in August of 1972. Margaret Ellwanger, daughter of Henry&#8217;s brother, Edward S. Ellwanger, died in Rochester on September 21, 1958. Margaret, an active music devotee, left no husband or children. The Sibley Music Library received the collection in 1972. There is no indication of the collection&#8217;s history between 1958 and 1972.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Scope and Content<\/h4>\n<p>The collection contains mainly music composed by Henry B. Ellwanger, along with catalogs of other compositions in his library. A few items of printed music are included, mainly publications of Ellwanger&#8217;s own works but also some works of other composers. The majority of the remainder of the collections relates to his work as a church musician. This material includes church service bulletins, memos to choir members, music publication catalogs, materials related to organ construction, and letters. As a composer, Ellwanger must have met with some degree of success, as the collection includes publications of his own work. The collection relates particularly to musical life in Rochester, and especially to the field of church music in a small urban setting.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Restrictions and Use<\/h4>\n<p>None.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Associations<\/h4>\n<p>The Ruth T. Watanabe Special Collections holds a variety of scrapbooks relating to musical events during roughly the same period as this collection. Other special collections of related interest are those of R. Huntington Woodman (early 20th-century organist in Brooklyn), William L. Viner (early 19th-century English organist), and John Leman Rogers (19th-century English choral music composer). The special collections department at Rush Rhees Library holds several collections pertinent to the Ellwanger family.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a id=\"Series\" name=\"Series\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>DESCRIPTION OF SERIES<\/h3>\n<h4>Series 1: Music<\/h4>\n<p>The series embraces mainly compositions in manuscript by Henry B.
