Whitney Eugene Thayer (December 11, 1838,
Mendon, Massachusetts – June 27, 1889, Burlington, Vermont) was an American
organist and composer.
Thayer gave his first concert just after the installation of the new organ
in the Boston Music Hall in 1863. An early student of John Knowles Paine,[1]
he advanced to studied organ and counterpoint in Berlin with Carl August
Haupt (who also taught Paine). After returning from Berlin he worked in
Boston and later in New York City as an organist. He was also a touring
virtuoso, organ teacher, and music writer.
Apart from a festive cantata and a mass, he composed numerous works for
organ, art songs, and vocal quartets.

excellent organist. In 1865-'6 he studied in Europe under Carl Haupt and
others. While in Boston he edited the "Organist's Journal" and the "Choir
Journal," and was director of the Boston choral union, the New England

Burlington, Vermont accompanied by his wife (Elizabeth D. Thayer) to give
music instructions and on the day that the instructions were to start (June
