about

Cottonfield Capers, by William Christopher O’Hare, 1901; arranged by T.P. Trinkaus; M. Witmark & Sons, 1903.

While Scott Joplin was composing his first gems of ragtime in Sedalia and St. Louis, William Christopher O’Hare (1867 – 1946) of Shreveport, Louisiana was producing equally polished compositions which suggest no familiarity with Joplin’s music. His inspiration would rather seem to be African American spirituals and other black folk music. His transcriptions of tunes recalled by a Southern great grandmother (published in 1926) prove his familiarity with black and white folk material. In addition to being a staff arranger for Witmark, O’Hare composed a variety of music, conducted orchestras and choirs, played organ in churches and taught violin, organ and piano. More on W.C. O’Hare can be found in Sue Attalla’s article in Ragtime Ephemeralist No. 3.
