Music notes for February 8, 2026

Moses Hogan (1957-2003) Moses George Hogan was an American composer and arranger of choral music. He was best known for his settings of spirituals. Hogan was a pianist, conductor, and arranger of international renown. Born in New Orleans, Hogan lived with five siblings and his parents, who gave their children a passion for music. He was an accomplished pianist by the age of nine. The family attended the A.L. Davis New Zion Baptist Church. Hogan’s father, of the same name, was a bass singer in the church choir while Hogan’s uncle, Edwin B. Hogan, was the Minister of Music and organist. His mother, Gloria Hogan, was a nurse.

Hogan was musically educated from a young age, first enrolling in Xavier University Junior School of Music. In his sophomore year of high school, he was accepted to New Orleans Center for Creative Arts High School and was in its first graduating class of 1975. Hogan was awarded a full scholarship to the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, where he studied piano and graduated in 1979 with a Bachelor of Music degree.

William Lloyd Webber (1914-1982) was an English organist and composer and the father of the famed Andrew Lloyd Webber.  His Benedictus for organ and violin is dedicated to “Jean, on October 3, 1942,” the year they were married. The piece is filled with many lush moments.
