Berkley Moore: b. 1932, d. 2018
From an obituary: Berkley Moore (1932–2018) was known for his scholarly curiosity and tremendous knowledge across a vast range of subjects, from history to genetics to religion and particularly music, with deep interest in classical, jazz and traditional folk music. He authored several hymns himself, including lyrics for “Let Love Continue Long” in the UU hymnal How Can We Keep from Singing? (1976) and the tune for “Kelham” in Missouri Harmony (2005). Rev. Moore was also an active member of the Illinois shape note singing community, and being a virtual expert on folk hymns he shared his enthusiasm and knowledge on this subject with many in Illinois and across the country.
