Clara H. Fiske Scott (1841-1897)

In 1856, Scott attended the first Music Institute held in Chicago by C. M. Cady. She went on to teach music at the Ladies Seminary, Lyons, Iowa (1859). She married Henry Clay Scott in 1861. In 1882, she published the Royal Anthem Book, the first volume of anthems ever published by a woman.

Scott met and was greatly encouraged by Horatio Palmer, who helped publish many of her songs. She issued three collections before her untimely death.

Hymns:

  1. Open My Eyes, That I May See (the only one of her many songs still in popular use)
