Whispering Hope….definitely an old hymn! My husband has been wanting me to arrange this hymn for a long time. He finally got his wish 🙂 I’ve written an early advanced piano arrangement of “Whispering Hope” which I’m offering for FREE to my church pianist readers.
I decided to read up on the composer of this song and was surprised at what I found. (in the numbered list below)
Septimus Winner, an American songwriter of the 19th century, was born in May 1827 and died of a heart attack in 1902. He used the following stage names (pseudonymns) for his written poems and music: Alice Hawthorne, Percy Guyer, Mark Mason, Marion Florence, Leon Dore, Apsley Street, and Paul Stenton.
Septimus’ wife, Mary Ann, was a relative of Nathaniel Hawthorne which explains the generous use of the stage name, Alice Hawthorne.
See if you recognize the following songs written by Septimus Winner. (this will date some of you including myself) 🙂
1. Listen to the Mockingbird (Alice Hawthorne)
2. Oh Where Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone (lyrics only) *German folk tune
3. Carry Me Back to Tennessee (better known as Ellie Rhee)
4. Whispering Hope (1868)

Hello I am so excited I found your webpage, I really found
you by mistake, while I was looking on Google for something
else, Anyhow I am here now and would just like to say thanks for a marvelous post and a all round entertaining blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to read through it all at the moment but I
have bookmarked it and also added your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read a lot more,
Please do keep up the excellent work.
I enjoy and am thankful for your free piano sheets
Very much appreciated. I wanted to play this as a violin solo in church. I know it by heart but the pianist only had the music in another key so this will certainly help.
thanx, john
Glad it helped out! 🙂
I need piano sheet music for Whispering hope to play for my elderly Mother’s Birthday. Thanks.
