My doctoral project at Indiana University
was a study of the life and music of Calvin
Hampton titled
The Stained-Glass
Zimbelstern: An Inquiry Into the LIfe and
Music of Calvin Hampton
(copyright 2001,
Jonathan B. Hall).

This two-part dissertation includes the first
complete biography of the remarkable
composer, organist, and transplanted
Manhattanite, as well as a provocative
study of his organ works as
representations of the human body.
More recently, I created an extensive
revision of the biographical section,
which is titled
Calvin Hampton, a
Musician Without Borders
. This book
is now published and available to the
public...not only professional organists
and students of twentieth-century
classical music, but those who love the
creative scene of New York City and
treasure the indomitability of the
human spirit.
For inquiries about lectures,
workshops, articles, recitals, or other
events connected to the life and work
of Calvin Hampton, contact Jonathan
Hall directly; his email address is on
