Thomas Jefferson Scott (May 28, 1912, Campbellsburg, Kentucky – August 12, 1961, New York City) was an American composer and singer.
Scott studied music at the University of Kentucky, after which he moved to New York City when he joined Fred Waring's glee club.
Garnering praise, Scott landed his own radio show, which ran for several years.
His symphonic works include Ballad of the Harp Weaver, Binorie Variations, Colloquy for Strings, Coney Island, Fanfare and Cantilena, Hornpipe and Chantey, Johnny Appleseed, Music for String Orchestra, and Symphony No.
His work From the Sacred Harp was performed and recorded in its world premiere by the New York Philharmonic under the baton of Leopold Stokowski.
