Henry Clay Work is best known for the very famous song, "Grandfather's Clock".  He was the son of militant abolitionists who kept a station on the underground railroad.  Trained as a printer, he held typesetting jobs whenever his music writing was unable to provide adequate support.  His first hit was the Civil War song "Brave Boys Are They".  Other well known songs are "Marching Through Georgia", "Kingdom Coming", "Come Home, Father", and "Song of A Thousand Years."  Henry Clay Work was born in Middleton, Connecticut on October 1, 1832.  He died on June 8, 1884, and is buried in Hartford, Connecticut.

This is the first complete published collection of all the songs of Henry Clay Work.  Based on the earliest sheet-music versions, Benjamin Tubb has carefully edited and prepared new staff notations for each song and chorus.  MIDI versions of each of the songs can be heard at Mr. Tubb's website, www.pdmusic.org
