Clarence Kohlmann
Clarence R. Kohlmann (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, September 24, 1891 – December 13, 1944, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) was an American keyboardist and composer. He achieved renown for his arrangements of sacred music for the piano and organ. He was educated in public schools and in music with private tutors. At age 17, he began composing original hymns and arranging musical settings for psalms. From 1924 until his death in 1944, he was the resident organist at the Ocean Grove Great Auditorium organ in Ocean Grove, New Jersey. His work, The Storm, a display piece for the Auditorium organ, is a medley of songs with sound effects. It portrays an approaching Civil War battle followed by the return of peace as the storm subsides. It was recorded there in 1929, performed by Kohlmann. |
