Harriet Ware (composer)

She also wrote settings of poems by Thomas Moore, Edwin Markham, Cale Young Rice, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Richard Lovelace, Bayard Taylor, Joyce Kilmer,[4] and Marie Van Vorst.

[7][8] Harriet Ware saw the importance of women's clubs in supporting the arts, saying "Musicians do well to pin their faith to these aggregations of 'the people' rather than to the wealth or social influence of a few.

[10] During World War I the society gave a concert of Ware's music, to benefit local wives and children of soldiers.

[12] She was also active with the Musical Alliance of the United States, and served on a jury for the organization's national Girl Scout songwriting competition in 1918, along with composers Amy Beach, Gena Branscombe, Fay Foster and Margaret Ruthven Lang.

[1] Harriet Ware married a chemical engineer, Hugh Montgomery Krumbhaar, in 1913; the bridal air she wrote for the cantata Sir Oluf was played at their wedding ceremony, and David Bispham sang her song "How Do I Love Thee?".
