W.N.B. Shepherd. http://www.composersrecordings.com/cd/783.html: Born in Paris, Idaho, on February 19, 1880, of parents who were English converts to Mormonism, he studied at the New England Conservatory, later teaching there and in Salt Lake City. He gained national prominence as a composer and conductor while still in his twenties. In 1920 he settled in Cleveland and until 1926 was the first assistant conductor of the Cleveland Orchestra and its erudite program annotator until 1930. For a time, he was also music critic of The Cleveland Press. Between 1930 and 1950 he taught at Western Reserve University, serving as Chairman of its Music Department between 1933 and 1948. After his retirement he lectured at the Longy School of Cambridge, Mass., and at the University of Utah. He died in Cleveland on January 12, 1958. "Shepherd combines the austerity and constancy of the New Englander and the Mormon with a Yankee candor and vigor..." writes Dr. Newman. " There is simply no affectation in him, whether it be of speech or manners. All of which points to an artist of high, unswerving ideals that have provided very salutary and elevating standards for his colleagues and students..." Growing acquaintance with his total output suggests that the usual stylistic classifications, such as 'traditionalism' or 'modernism,' diminish in importance as one recognizes the substance as genuinely contemporary - that is to say, of his time, and of his own making.
