Gordon Balch Nevin (1892–1943) was a second cousin to the better-known
Ethelbert Nevin and was a tireless organ teacher for two years at Hiram College
and for twelve years at Westminster College. (Two rare photos were contributed
by Westminster College.) For one year, he lived in Boston arranging music
for the Skinner “Orchestrator” player
organ.
Will o’ the Wisp was so popular that four separate
companies made rolls for their player organs! It was his third published piece
and the first in this series from Clayton F Summy.

What Small-Town
Music Needs.” Moderately easy.
