Harry L. Alford
Harry L. Alford (circa 1879 – March 4, 1939) was an American arranger and composer of band marches.
==Early life==
Harry LaForrest Alford was born in Hudson, Michigan. His family moved to nearby Blissfield, Michigan two years later. As a boy Harry learned to play the slide trombone, piano, and organ. He also taught himself composition and arrangement.
He worked as a church organist and then as a trombonist in a theater orchestra. He recognized his deficiencies in formal training at this point. He studied at the Dana Musical Institute in Warren, Ohio (now part of Youngstown State University). Then, he became a trombonist with touring minstrel shows, wild west shows, and theatrical troupes.
By 1903, he was tired of the constant travel. He opened a custom arranging business in Chicago employing famous copyists and arrangers working in sound proof studios. The idea of arranging as a full-time career was unknown at that time. Alford’s pit orchestra music for Eva Tanguay made him famous, and created a demand for music scored by him. He became known as the composer and arranger of ingenious quirky music. The Harry L. Alford Arranging Studios moved into the entire sixth floor of the State-Lake Theater in the early 1920s. The firm operated until 1940, producing over 34,000 arrangements.
