Henry Clay Work : ウィキペディア英語版 | Henry Clay Work Henry Clay Work (October 1, 1832 – June 8, 1884) was an American composer and songwriter. ==Early life and education== Work was born in Middletown, Connecticut, to Alanson and Amelia (Forbes) Work.〔()〕 His father opposed slavery, and Work was himself an active abolitionist and Union supporter. His family's home became a stop on the Underground Railroad, assisting runaway slaves to freedom in Canada, for which his father was once imprisoned. Work was self-taught in music. By the time he was 23, he worked as a printer in Chicago, specializing in setting musical type. He allegedly composed in his head as he worked, without a piano, using the noise of the machinery as an inspiration. His first published song was "We Are Coming, Sister Mary", which eventually became a staple in Christy's Minstrels shows.
