Earth below is teeming; Tunes - Harvest & Princethorpe

John Samuel Bewley Monsell was born in Ireland and educated at Trinity College, Dublin. He was ordained a priest in the Anglican church and served parishes in Ireland and England. He published 11 volumes of poetry and 300 hymns.

Here we offer two tunes - Harvest has a chorus, Princethorpe does not.

The tune known as Harvest is attributed to R. Menthal; we did not find any biographical information about this composer.  We'd love to hear from you if you know anything about him/her.

Princethorpe was composed by William John Pitts (1829-1903).  He was born in Tansor, near Oundle, Northamptonshire, the son of an organ builder. He was a talented muscian from an early age, and was a church organist from the age of 14, at Elton Church, Huntingdonshire and at Brompton Oratory, Kensington. He composed both hymns and secular songs.
