March 1st Music Notes: March is Women’s History Month. Maureen Howell is a native of Virginia, currently serving as Organist at First Baptist Church in Raleigh, North Carolina. Her composition “Reflection on KINGSFOLD” was the First Place Winner in the Short Compositions for Worship Services category of The American Guild of Organists 2025 Woman Composer Sunday Organ Composition Competition.

Jesse Montgomery (b 1981) “is a GRAMMY® Award-winning composer, violinist, and educator whose work interweaves classical music with elements of vernacular music, improvisation, poetry, and social consciousness, making her an acute interpreter of 21st-century American sound and experience. She was named Performance Today’s 2025 Classical Woman of the Year. The closing hymn is both a text and a tune by women. Fanny J. Crosby (1820-1915) wrote more than 8,000 hymns and gospel music. She was known for her teaching and mission work. Phoebe Palmer Knapp (1839-1908) was an American composer and organist who composed over 500 hymn tunes.

We gratefully acknowledge the Eleanor R. Baird Music Fund, which makes today’s anthem possible.
