Bertha Remick (15 December 1872 – 14 July 1965) was an American artist, composer, music educator, and pianist.[1] She sometimes published under the pseudonym Sybil Paget.[2]
Remick was born in Chelsea, Massachusetts, to Anna L. and Henry T. Remick.[3] Her father was a singer; her mother was a pianist and teacher. Her uncle Edward T. Remick was a composer and choirmaster. [4]
Remick studied music in Boston with John Wheeler Tufts and in Dresden with Pittrich (not further indentified; possibly Georg Pittrich or Carl Pittrich). She also studied music in New York for five years.[4]
Remick was interested in American Indian music and gave lecture recitals on world folk music.[4] She taught at the Florence Fleming Noyes School of Rhythmic Expression in Boston, Massachusetts.[5] In the summer of 1915, she taught a course on the psychological value and recognition of music through rhythm at the school’s summer session in South Woodstock, Connecticut.[6]
In addition to composing original music, Remick arranged the works of other composers, frequently collaborating with other musicians. With B. R. Sharon, she arranged songs from Wagner’s Tannhäuser[7] and Die Meistersinger,[8] and with David Stevens, she arranged songs from Bizet’s Carmen, all for use by school choruses.[9]
Although she never formally studied art, Remick’s paintings were shown in Boston in 1919[1] and in 1939 at Morton Galleries in New York.[10]
Some of Remick’s music is in the collection of the Boston Public Library.[11] Several of her songs were included in The Progressive Music Series by Horatio William Parker[12] and in Primary Melodies by Elbridge Ward Newton.[13] Her compositions were published by C. C. Birchard and Co.,[14] G. Schirmer Inc.,[15] J. G. Seeling,[16] and Oliver Ditson.[17] Her works included:
- Magic Pipes of Pan (with Florence Fleming Noyes)[6]
- Masque (with Florence Fleming Noyes)[6]
- “Anchored” (music by Michael Watson; text by Samuel K. Cowan; arranged by Bertha Remick)[14]
- “Blind Man’s Bluff”[13]
- “Caterpillar and the Bee”[12]
