Biography
Thurlow Weed is a composer and organist living in Lancaster, Ohio. He was organist for Whitehall United Methodist Church in Whitehall, Ohio (suburb of Columbus) from 1996 until 2011. He is currently affiliated with St Johns' Episcopal Church in Lancaster, Ohio. He also occasionally plays the Mobile Millennium Carillon for events around Lancaster. This is the largest and heaviest of three travelling carillons in North America, and is based just outside Lancaster.

Before moving to Ohio, he had lived his entire life in Key West, Florida, where his father was the minister of a small Bahamian Presbyterian congregation. He was confirmed as an Episcopalian at St. Paul's Church in Key West and served there in numerous capacities, including cantor and sub-organist. At the same time, he served as Minister of Music at St. Peter's Episcopal Church (Key West), a small Bahamian Anglo-Catholic parish. He is also an ordained Interfaith Minister affiliated with the Progressive Christian Alliance.

Weed is the composer of numerous hymn tunes in traditional English style. In addition, he has composed an English language Missa Brevis for St. Paul's Church in Key West, and he has completed a Latin Missa Solemnis for general use in Roman and Anglo-Catholic parishes. Compositions also include shape note (Sacred Harp) hymns, and hymns in the English "West Gallery" style. A number of hymn descants and Anglican chants are also available.

Some additional music is available for purchase via Holy Measures publishing [1].

He shares his home with two pianos, a Well-tempered pipe organ, and six cats. Some of the cats occasionally strive for musicianship by creating aleatoric music on a piano if the key cover is accidentally left open.
