Biography
Samuel Babcock was an early American composer of sacred music. He was born in Milton, Massachusetts
, and spent most of his working life as a hatter in Watertown. In March 1813, he enlisted in the artillery company under Rufus McIntire (in the War of 1812): he died in November of the same year from a fever, at French Mills, New York.
Babcock's musical works were mainly published in his own collection The Middlesex Harmony: the first edition of this work was published in 1795, and an enlarged second edition was published in 1803. In addition, some of Babcock's music was published in collections compiled by others, including Daniel Belknap's The Evangelical Harmony (1800).
Sampsel (2009) has suggested that "the few pieces first printed with the ambiguous attribution 'Babcock' are very likely by Lemuel Babcock," Samuel's older cousin.
