Life
Born: ca. 1790
Died:
James C. Lowry is the composer (or arranger) of the psalm-tune Pisgah, first published in Ananias Davisson's The Kentucky Harmony, 1817. He "contributed nine tunes to Kentucky Harmony [and its supplement] ... He probably lived in Kentucky, since two additional tunes are credited to him in Columbian Harmony (1829) by Kentucky residents" (Steel and Hulan 2010). Some of his songs might give a hint:
- Botetourt – A county in western Virginia, originally drawn in the 1770s to include all of the later state of Kentucky (1792). Lowry is a small town in adjacent Bedford County.
- Mecklenburg – A county in south-central Virginia, a county in North Carolina, and a historical region in northern Germany. Also Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, wife of George III and Queen of Great Britain from 1761 to 1818.
- Fluvanna – A river and county in central Virginia.
- Jerusalem – The words are a translation-adaptation of a famous German hymn, Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern.
